Joshua Kimmich to Miss Champions League Match Against Arsenal

Bayern Munich announced that midfielder Joshua Kimmich will miss the Champions League match against Arsenal due to a family bereavement. The game is scheduled for Wednesday night at the Allianz Arena.

Kimmich was absent from training the previous day and will not be included in the squad for the fixture. The club requested respect for his family's privacy during this difficult time and expressed condolences to Kimmich and his loved ones.

In Kimmich's absence, Bayern may rely on Aleksandar Pavlovic and Tom Bischof as their central midfield pairing. Additionally, Bayern is facing challenges with coach Vincent Kompany, who is dealing with a virus and missed a media conference ahead of the match.
