Alphonso Davies has to worry about participating in the World Cup with Canada. The 22-year-old FC Bayern Munich left-back sustained a thigh muscle injury in the game against Hertha BSC on Saturday.
As head coach Julian Nagelsmann revealed at the press conference after the game, Davies suffered at least one torn muscle fiber, maybe more. “With Phonzie, according to the doc’s palpation, it’s at least a torn muscle fiber. We’ll have to wait and see what comes out tomorrow,” said the FCB coach.
One thing is certain: Davies will not be available to FC Bayern in the last two competitive games before the break. The encounters with SV Werder Bremen (Tuesday, 8:30 p.m.) and Schalke 04 (Saturday, 6:30 p.m.) are affected.
Regarding the original report from November 5, 2022:
Davies substituted off
Left-back Alphonso Davies was substituted in the game against Hertha BSC with a muscular problem in his right rear thigh. Lucas Hernández, who was celebrating his comeback, came in for him in the 64th minute. It remains to be seen whether the Bayern professional will have to take a break.
