Bayern Munich hit by illness outbreak ahead of Champions League clash with Arsenal

Bayern Munich face potential disruption ahead of their UEFA Champions League fixture against Arsenal following a virus outbreak within their camp, according to a report by FourFourTwo.​

Manager Vincent Kompany reportedly fell ill around Bayern’s recent victory against RB Leipzig, undergoing medical examinations after requiring rest during halftime and post-match. Concerns have mounted internally regarding potential transmission among the squad and coaching staff due to his close contact during team talks.​

The German champions are already contending with selection constraints, as winger Michael Olise remains unavailable following a red card in their 3-3 draw against Viking.

Conversely, Arsenal received a positive fitness update as defender Piero Hincapié returned to grass training ahead of the journey to the Allianz Arena. Both clubs enter the midweek fixture aiming to maintain strong positions in the European group stage.
