FC Bayern are once again worried about Alphonso Davies. According to reports, the left-back is travelling straight back to Munich following his injury whilst on international duty with Canada.
After recurring injury problems, Alphonso Davies has shown remarkable consistency for Bayern Munich this season, having already made eight appearances in the Bundesliga, two in the DFB-Pokal (one goal, two assists) and four in the Champions League. In mid-November, after more than 600 days, he was set to make his return to the starting line-up in Canada.
Davies was in the starting line-up for the first leg of the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final in Guatemala. However, as early as the 6th minute, the scoreboard displaying his shirt number was held aloft. The Canadian captain had sustained an injury whilst making a defensive sprint, without any contact from an opponent. Davies walked off the pitch under his own steam, head bowed.
Even without their captain, the Canadians won the crucial first leg 3–2, putting themselves in a strong position to reach the semi-finals. Initially, the association left open the question of whether Davies would be able to play in Tuesday’s return leg. “He’ll undergo tests over the next few days, and then we’ll know more,” explained assistant manager Mauro Biello immediately after the final whistle.
Three more Bayern matches in November
However, according to reports, Davies is flying straight back to Munich, where he is due to undergo thorough examinations. The record champions are indeed fearing a muscle injury, which would once again sideline Davies.
The changed competitive situation surrounding summer signing Nathaniel Brown had clearly spurred Davies on so far this season. Now he is in danger of missing the upcoming fixtures. Bayern have three matches still to play in November alone: in the Bundesliga, FCB will host 1. FC Köln on 20 November and travel to Hamburger SV on 28 November. In between, they have an away Champions League match in Lille.
