Alphonso Davies suffered another potential setback after the Bayern Munich defender was forced off injured just five minutes into Canada’s 3-2 win over Guatemala.
Canada’s assistant coach, Mauro Biello, provided an initial update after the match.
“It’s a lower body injury. We’ll know the full extent of it once the doctor examines it and then makes a decision on next steps,” Biello said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
According to Bild (via @iMiaSanMia), the initial concern is a recurrence of a previous muscle injury, although further examinations will be needed to determine the exact extent of the problem. Kicker (via @iMiaSanMia) reports that Davies will return directly to Munich after the injury to undergo extensive medical examinations.
Bayern Munich are reportedly worried the 25-year-old could suffer another muscle injury which could keep him sidelined again. It’s particularly frustrating news for Davies, who has already endured a long spell on the sidelines and was in the process of returning to full fitness with a limited schedule for the Bavarians.
Bayern Munich will now await further test results to determine the severity of the latest setback.
