Vincent Kompany to miss Bayern’s clash with Arsenal due to legs-affecting virus

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya and manager Mikel Arteta have brushed off outside criticism describing the team's style of play as boring ahead of their Champions League meeting with Bayern Munich. Following a 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest that marked Arsenal's 10th victory in 11 games across all competitions, Raya emphasized that he does not care about external opinions, while Arteta insisted critics represent only a very small minority.

Arteta acknowledged Arsenal must improve offensively against low-block opponents but expressed confidence that his squad is more complete and prepared this season. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich face their own challenges ahead of Wednesday's clash, with winger Michael Olise suspended and manager Vincent Kompany doubtful for the dugout due to a viral infection affecting his legs, leaving assistant Aaron Danks on standby.
