Bayern Munich will face an early test of their UEFA Champions League title ambitions when they host English champions Arsenal on Wednesday, with in-form winger Michael Olise unavailable through suspension. Olise was sent off during Bayern’s three-all draw with Viking last week after receiving two yellow cards within a minute. The former Crystal Palace winger was first booked for a foul before throwing the ball at Viking captain Zlatko Tripic following a verbal exchange, resulting in his dismissal. Olise, who began his youth career in Arsenal’s junior system, has enjoyed an impressive run of form since joining Bayern and has emerged as a contender for the Ballon d’Or following his performances last season. The winger has scored nine goals and provided five assists in 10 matches across all competitions this season. His absence will be a major concern for Bayern, with Jamal Musiala struggling with injury and illness, while Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl have yet to reach their best form. England captain Harry Kane has also been instrumental in Bayern’s attack, recording nine goals and six assists in 10 games.
