Michael Olise will be unavailable when Bayern Munich face Arsenal next week after an incident during Tuesday’s Champions League draw with Viking.
Michael Olise will miss Bayern Munich’s Champions League meeting with Arsenal next week after being sent off during Tuesday’s 3-3 draw with Viking.
The France winger received two yellow cards within seconds in Norway, with the resulting one-match suspension ruling him out when Arsenal visit Munich on October 21.
Olise’s first booking came for a tactical foul as he attempted to stop a counter-attack. Before the referee had even finished dealing with that incident, he threw the ball at Viking captain Zlatko Tripic’s head.
A second yellow card followed immediately, leaving Bayern with 10 men for the closing stages and ensuring one of their dangerous attacking players will not be available against Arsenal.
Olise has eight goals this season, with four assists, in just nine games.
Harry Kane had scored twice and provided an assist as Bayern came from 2-0 down to go 3-2 ahead, but Herman Haugen struck a late equaliser to leave the German side with only a point.
Kane acknowledged his team-mate’s mistake afterwards.
“He’ll have to take responsibility obviously, he’ll have to learn from it,” he said.
It was the first red card of Olise’s senior career, his only other sending off coming when he was playing for Reading’s u18s.
