Bayern Munich winger Luis Diaz will be out of action for the “foreseeable ​future” after suffering a minor muscle tear ‌in his left hamstring during Wednesday’s 2-2 Champions League draw with visiting Arsenal, the Bundesliga club ​said on Thursday.

The 29-year-old Colombia international ​came on in the 68th minute at ⁠the Allianz Arena but was forced ​off in stoppage time after suffering the ​injury.

Examinations carried out by Bayern’s medical staff confirmed the hamstring tear, the club said in a statement.

“The ​29-year-old forward will therefore be sidelined ​for the time being,” Bayern said.

Diaz’s injury is a ‌setback ⁠for Bayern as they enter a busy stretch of the season, with the winger having been a key attacking option since ​joining the ​German champions.

Bayern ⁠and Arsenal shared the spoils in the league-phase encounter on ​Wednesday, with Declan Rice scoring a ​late ⁠equaliser for the visitors to earn a point.

Bundesliga leaders Bayern next visit third-placed Freiburg, ⁠who ​are a point behind ​the champions after six games, on Sunday.
