Alphonso Davies hasn’t had much luck with injuries lately. In 2025, he suffered a torn cruciate ligament that sidelined him for a long time. At the time, he was playing for the Canadian national team. And that’s exactly what’s happening again now.
After his ACL tear, he had to sit out for months, and even after his comeback, he was plagued by recurring injuries, preventing him from ever really finding his stride. Even during the World Cup, when Canada was a co-host, he wasn’t really able to make an impact.
It wasn’t until his return to FC Bayern that Davies was able to show his old form again. So far this season, he has remained fit and has been impressive on the field.
Davies Injured Again
That’s why the left-footed player traveled in good spirits to the Canadian national team’s matches, after staying home during the XXL international break. But during Canada’s 3-2 victory over Guatemala, the next shock came. Davies had to be taken off the field after just five minutes because he suffered another injury.
He sat down on the ground during the game and signaled that he couldn’t continue. “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 the next steps should be,” explained Mauro Biello, Canada’s national team coach.
A prolonged absence would be extremely disappointing for FC Bayern and for Davies himself. That’s because the schedule until the winter break consists almost entirely of back-to-back matches. In addition, Serge Gnabry and Ismael Saibari will be out of the attack for the rest of the year, and Jamal Musiala and Luis Diaz are just coming back from rehab, so they’ll need to be brought back gradually.
This means the offense is already very thin on the ground. Davies has recently played several times on the left wing in an attacking role.
