Canada’s captain Alphonso Davies is facing uncertainty ahead of the men’s World Cup after sustaining a hamstring injury with Bayern Munich. Multiple reports say the injury occurs during Bayern’s Champions League semifinal against Paris Saint-Germain, where Davies is hurt in the second leg that ends 1-1. Bayern later states Davies will be sidelined for several weeks, potentially affecting his preparations and Canada’s plans as the tournament approaches.
The reports also describe a broader pattern of fitness setbacks. Davies has already missed multiple matches since February due to a muscle tear and has suffered additional muscle injuries after earlier returns from prior problems. One report notes a series of injuries following a December return from a knee ligament tear.
With Canada’s World Cup opener scheduled for June 12 in Toronto, Davies’s availability remains a concern for both his club and Canada. Bayern’s reported stance adds further complication, with suggestions that the club may resist releasing or extending his participation while he recovers.
