Bayern Coach Kompany Sends Superstar Luis Diaz Away for Rest
Bayern Munich’s coach, Vincent Kompany, has granted star player Luis Diaz a brief break during a busy season. The Colombian winger will miss two crucial matches due to a double suspension. This decision allows him to spend valuable time with his family.
Luis Diaz’s Suspension Details
The 28-year-old Diaz has been sidelined for the Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon and the Bundesliga clash with FSV Mainz 05. This comes after he received a red card in a recent match against Paris Saint-Germain, followed by his fifth yellow card in the game against VfB Stuttgart.
Coach Kompany’s Rationale
Kompany emphasizes the importance of mental and physical well-being for Diaz. “Lucho has always played hard for us and the national team,” said Kompany. “With his long travels and consistent participation, it’s reasonable for him to take a few days off to recharge.” The coach believes this break will benefit Diaz in the upcoming season.
Return to Action
Despite the temporary absence, Diaz is not entering an extended winter break. Kompany assured fans that Diaz will return for the final match of the year against 1. FC Heidenheim on December 21. Following this game, the team will have a short holiday before resuming training on January 3.
