France international Michael Olise will miss Bayern Munich's upcoming Champions League match against Arsenal after being sent off in the 3-3 draw with Norwegian side Viking, the Independent reported.

What happened

Olise was shown two yellow cards within seconds for a professional foul and then for chucking the ball into the face of Viking captain Zlatko Tripic. Bayern recovered from two goals down to lead 3-2 before substitute Herman Haugen equalised after Olise's dismissal.

What was said

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said, "It was our own fault. This red card was super dumb… you can see in [Michael's] eyes that he's sorry about it and that he regrets letting the team down," as reported by the Independent.
