Bayern's Luis Diaz handed three-match ban by UEFA
Bayern Munich's Luis Diaz has received a three-match ban for serious rough play after he was sent off in its 2-1 UEFA Champions League victory over holder Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month, European football's governing body UEFA has announced.
Diaz scored both goals in Paris but was sent off for a violent tackle on PSG's Achraf Hakimi on the stroke of half-time.
PSG confirmed a day later that Hakimi had severely sprained his left ankle and the Morocco full back has not played for the Ligue 1 club since.
Hakimi picked up the African Footballer of the Year award last week, limping up on to the stage while using a scooter to move around.
Bayern boss Vincent Kompany expected Diaz to miss only the trip to Arsenal next week, but the Colombian winger will also sit out home games against Sporting on 10 December (AEDT) and Union St Gilloise on 22 January (AEDT).
Bayern sits top of the UEFA Champions League standings with 12 points from four games, one of three teams with a perfect record along with its next opponents Arsenal and Inter Milan.
