Alphonso Davies has suffered another potential setback after the Bayern Munich defender was forced off with an injury just five minutes into Canada’s 3-2 victory over Guatemala.
Canada assistant coach Mauro Biello provided an initial update after the match.
“It’s a lower-body injury. We’ll get the full extent of it once the doctor takes a look at it and then make a decision on what the next steps are,” 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 required to determine the exact extent of the problem. Kicker (via @iMiaSanMia) reports that Davies will fly directly back to Munich following the injury to undergo extensive medical examinations.
Bayern Munich is reportedly fearing that the 25-year-old has suffered another muscle injury that could keep him sidelined once again. This is particularly frustrating news for Davies, who has already endured a lengthy spell on the sidelines and was working his way back to full fitness with a limited schedule for the Bavarians.
Bayern Munich will now await the results of further tests to determine how serious the latest setback is.
