Alphonso Davies was definitely one of the unluckiest players at FC Bayern Munich in 2025. He missed large parts of the year because he tore his cruciate ligament playing for the national team in the spring
Davies had to endure many months of rehab and said afterwards that it had been particularly difficult mentally
In recent weeks, Davies has gradually worked his way back to his normal form. He made progress, was still a little unsure at first after his comeback, but that quickly improved
Davies injured against Frankfurt
Against Eintracht Frankfurt, the Canadian was back on the pitch from the start at left-back. He was well involved in the attacking play, but also made two or three minor technical errors. However, these are still normal in the early stages of his comeback. It happened at the start of the second half: after a seemingly harmless tackle, the Canadian fell to the ground
Davies was sitting on the ground with his face contorted in pain and was unable to get up straight away. His team-mates were quickly with him and signalled to the bench that the Canadian had to be replaced. Davies was immediately replaced by Hiroki Ito. Although he was able to leave the pitch on his own two feet, walking slightly out of shape, the look on his face did not bode well
He had also pulled his jersey in front of his face in the meantime. It is to be feared that the left-back could be facing another lengthy forced absence. Bayern will hope that it was just a reaction to the shock of feeling something on his knee again. But only the examinations will show that.
