Quick Summary

In a recent Bundesliga match, Bayern Munich came back from being 2-0 down at halftime to win against Viking FK, with Harry Kane scoring two goals and Luis Diaz scoring another. However, Michael Olise received a red card for misconduct, which means he will miss the upcoming Champions League match against Arsenal in Munich next Wednesday. This absence is significant because Olise has been performing exceptionally well, contributing nine goals and four assists in his last eight games.

Story summary

Michael Olise was sent off in the Champions League match between Bayern Munich and Viking Stavanger after receiving two yellow cards within seconds. The incident occurred when Olise committed a tactical foul to prevent a counterattack, earning his first booking, and then threw the ball at Zlatko Tripic, Viking's captain, resulting in his second yellow card. This sending-off helped Viking come back from a 3-2 deficit to secure a 3-3 draw with an equalizer by Herman Haugen in the 90th minute. Olise’s suspension means he will miss Bayern's upcoming Champions League match against Arsenal, giving Arsenal a significant advantage. Despite his recent form—scoring nine goals and providing four assists in his last eight games—Olise faces criticism for his "super dumb" actions, which could have long-term consequences for both himself and the team.

🔮 "I think it will be a matter of weeks but we don't know exactly how many."
🔮 "They're both going to miss tomorrow's match, that's for sure," Arsenal boss Arteta said on Monday. "Today they're going to have a further scan and probably tomorrow we'll know more and then we'll see how they're going to go." In the absence of Hincapie, Myles Lewis-Skelly could find himself returning to left-back.

🔮 The next week or so will prove if what happened at the Amex Stadium was a blip or cause for concern, though chances are it was the former as Arsenal have won seven of their eight games across all competitions so far this campaign, six of which have come outside of London.
🔮 Guimaraes struggled in Arsenal's last match against Brighton, but Arteta could opt to give that midfield pairing another go.
🔮 “I think that process has to be resolved in a way and we need to trust that the people in charge will do it in the timeframe that they believe is the best for everybody," he said.
