Alphonso Davies is returning directly to Munich following his injury while playing for Canada. FC Bayern is concerned that he may have suffered another muscle injury.
FC Bayern is worried about Alphonso Davies. After being substituted early in the international match against Guatemala, the Canadian will fly directly back to Munich. There, comprehensive examinations will determine the severity of the left-footed player’s injury.
According to information from *kicker*, the Munich club fears a new muscle injury that would force Davies to sit out again. *BILD* also reports concerns about a recurring muscle injury. However, an exact diagnosis and the potential length of his absence have not yet been determined.
Davies had to be substituted just five minutes into Canada’s 3-2 victory over Guatemala. He sat down on the field and signaled that he could not continue playing. Immediately after the match, the extent of his injury remained unclear.
Canada’s co-head coach Mauro Biello explained: “It’s an injury to the lower body. We’ll know the full extent once the doctor takes a look at it, and then we’ll decide what steps to take next.”
A Davies absence would further limit Bayern’s options
Now the next step takes him back to the club. A prolonged forced absence would be particularly bitter for Davies, especially after he had regained his form this season. Following his cruciate ligament tear in 2025 and other physical setbacks, he had recently impressed again with strong performances for FC Bayern.
His importance extends beyond his usual position as a left back. Due to personnel shortages, Davies has moved to the left wing on several occasions, giving the coaching staff an additional option there. An absence would therefore affect both the defensive and offensive lineups.
The options remain limited, especially on offense. Serge Gnabry is out until the winter break, and Ismael Saibari will also be sidelined for an extended period following his ankle injury. Jamal Musiala and Luis Díaz are working toward a return to action after their muscle injuries.
Díaz was recently able to rejoin team training. However, it remains to be seen when he’ll be able to take on a full workload after his break. Davies had stepped in to help out on the left wing during Díaz’s absence.
After the international break, Bayern will host 1. FC Köln on November 20. Whether Davies will be available for that match will depend on the results of his medical examinations in Munich. Until then, concerns remain about another personnel setback.
