The Colombian player sustained a minor muscle fibre tear in his left hamstring during a 2-2 home draw with Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday. Diaz, 29, came off the bench with just over 20 minutes left in the game but had to be replaced shortly before the match's conclusion. The Bayern statement indicated that Diaz will be out for four to six weeks. It was reported by German media that Diaz had been carrying an injury into the match, as coach Vincent Kompany had stated that he had not trained to 100 per cent prior to the game. Diaz remains goalless in the Bundesliga since August, having scored a hat-trick in their previous match against RB Leipzig. Since joining Bayern from Liverpool in 2025, the Colombian forward has impressed with 31 goals and 24 assists in 62 matches across all competitions.",
