• Arsenal and Bayern Munich are set to face each other in the Champions League on Wednesday evening in a much-anticipated match.
• Bayern Munich’s top player has received a long suspension, and both teams are anticipated to be without important players for the match.
• Bayern secured victory in their previous encounter, defeating the team 3-2 on aggregate to advance to the semi-finals.

Both Arsenal and Bayern Munich are expected to suffer significant setbacks due to injuries and suspensions as they compete against each other in the Champions League this evening.

Bayern Munich have traveled to North London to play against one of the other two teams that are still unbeaten this season.

Both teams are performing well within their own regions, creating an exciting matchup on paper.

Nevertheless, both managers will need to manage without several of their important players because of injuries and suspensions.

Arsenal’s list of injured players became shorter over the weekend, with Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli confirmed fit to be included in the match-day squad, helping them defeat Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby.

Captain Martin Odegaard was also on the verge of playing against Tottenham, but Mikel Arteta confirmed he received clearance to return for the match against Bayern.

Who will feel the absence of Arsenal versus Bayern Munich?

Nevertheless, Arteta will still be missing his three strikers, Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Jesus, and Kai Havertz.

Gyokeres is sidelined due to a hamstring problem, while Havertz is recovering from a knee injury. Jesus has recently rejoined team training following a torn anterior cruciate ligament earlier this year. Defender Gabriel Magalhaes sustained a groin injury during the recent international break and is expected to be unavailable until next month.

Luis Diaz received a three-game suspension

Visitors will see Luis Diaz start his three-match suspension, which has angered Bayern officials. The Colombian received a straight red card during the match against Paris Saint-Germain for a dangerous tackle on Achraf Hakimi.

Head coach Vincent Kompany anticipated a one-game suspension for the winger and was surprised by UEFA’s extended penalty.

“It is my understanding that he has been suspended for one match. I would be very disappointed if it turned out my information was wrong,” Kompany said through The Mirror.

Bayern plan to challenge the ruling, but the former Liverpool player is definitely going to miss the return to England.

Besides the suspensions, Kompany faces injury issues as Jamal Musiala remains unavailable following a serious injury sustained at the Club World Cup. The other player missing is Alphonso Davies, who, similar to Jesus, suffered an ACL tear.

Teenager Lennart Karl remains in question after he limped out during their recent victory against Freiburg.

Why does Arsenal’s home stadium change its name in the UCL?

At the same time, Arsenal’s stadium will not be referred to as the Emirates during their match against Bayern Munich.

The name Emirates is typically omitted when Arsenal plays European matches, according to UEFA regulations.

Other venues such as Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena are also subject to the same regulation.
