FC Bayern are very worried about Alphonso Davies. The left-back had to leave the pitch against Frankfurt with a knock and is out again. New details from North America now show how cautiously Munich intend to proceed with him.
The 25-year-old sat down on the pitch shortly after the break in the 3-2 home win against Eintracht Frankfurt and had to be substituted in the 49th minute. Immediately after the final whistle, sporting director Max Eberl indicated that „it will be longer“. Head coach Vincent Kompany initially spoke of cautious optimism and referred to the pending examinations.
Shortly afterwards, the club confirmed the diagnosis: a torn muscle fibre in the back of his right thigh. Those responsible did not give an exact time of absence. BILD and Sky reported a break of around three weeks. It is clear that the Canadian international will miss several weeks for the record champions – another setback after he had only celebrated his comeback in December 2025 after months of cruciate ligament damage.
Rehab should take place with a lot of patience
As TSN Soccer now reports, the injury is a „small muscle fibre tear in the thigh“. Although there is relief about the comparatively mild findings, there is also a great deal of caution. Above all, the build-up of explosiveness and load control should be carried out extremely carefully.
Particularly with a player like Davies, who is strong on pace and dynamism, Bayern obviously do not want to take any risks. According to the report, the rehabilitation phase and the „re-loading“ will be very controlled. A hasty comeback is out of the question.
Vincent Kompany will therefore have to improvise further on the left-hand side. Against Frankfurt, Hiroki Ito took over after the Canadian was substituted. In addition, Raphaël Guerreiro is another alternative in the squad, while Konrad Laimer or Josip Stanisic can also play the position depending on the situation.
