Luis Díaz has been suspended for Bayern Munich’s next three Champions League games for his red card against Paris Saint-Germain.
UEFA ruled Díaz’s first-half challenge on Achraf Hakimi was “serious rough play”, elevating his ban beyond the usual one-game protocol. The Colombian winger was jockeying for the ball with Hakimi late in stoppage time and as the Moroccan looked to burst forward, Díaz lunged in and caught Hakimi’s right ankle as it was planted. The PSG star hasn’t featured since.
The news comes as Bayern prepare for their trip to Arsenal on Wednesday. Díaz has been one of Bayern’s most prolific attackers since moving to Bavaria. He has 11 goals and five assists in 17 appearances across all competitions since completing a £65.5 million ($85.6 million) move from Liverpool.
