FC Bayern Munich continues to worry about Alphonso Davies’ fitness. The Canadian was injured just five minutes into his team’s match against Guatemala and had to be taken off the field.
This brought back unpleasant memories, as Davies had already been injured while playing for the national team in 2025 and was sidelined for months at the time with a torn cruciate ligament. It doesn’t seem to be as serious this time, however, as BILD reports that it appears to be a muscle injury, the extent of which is not yet entirely clear.
In light of this, it was reported that Davies is to travel to Munich immediately so that FC Bayern’s doctors can examine him more closely.
Davies will initially continue traveling with the Canadian team
However, as a spokesperson for the Canadian national team has now confirmed to OneSoccer , Davies is initially set to continue traveling with the team to Toronto. There, he will undergo a thorough examination before the left-footed player finally returns to Munich on Sunday.
This means that the Canadian Soccer Association is definitely assuming he won’t be able to play in the second game. Davies has continued to struggle with injuries even after his ACL tear; for example, he was barely able to play during the World Cup this summer because he had previously suffered another muscle injury while with FC Bayern.
This season, however, Davies has steadily found his rhythm and managed to return to his usual form. He has played not only at left back but also on the left wing. Given the other injuries the record champions are currently dealing with, Davies’ absence in the coming weeks would be very bad news.
Especially since the schedule is grueling. There are still several midweek matches ahead before the winter break. And players like Serge Gnabry, Ismael Saibari, and Manuel Neuer will definitely not be able to play again this year. So the concerns would only grow even greater.
