Bayern Munich to Face Arsenal Without Star Olise

Bayern Munich is preparing to host Arsenal in the Champions League without winger Michael Olise, who is suspended after receiving two yellow cards in a minute during Bayern's 3-3 draw with Viking. Olise, who has scored nine goals and provided five assists in 10 games this season, was sent off for the first time in his career after reacting to provocation from Viking captain Zlatko Tripic.

Bayern's Harry Kane acknowledged the impact of losing Olise but urged the rest of the squad to step up. Kane himself has also been in form, with nine goals and six assists in 10 games.

Bayern recently secured a 6-1 victory over RB Leipzig, with Luis Diaz scoring three goals in that match. The team is looking to improve upon their previous encounters with Arsenal, having narrowly progressed against them in the 2023-24 quarter-finals but suffering a 3-1 defeat in the league phase last season.
