Overview
- Davies was included on Canada’s 32-player training camp roster announced on Monday but did not travel to the Charlotte camp and remains in Germany for treatment.
- Coach Jesse Marsch said he expects Davies to play at some point in the World Cup but that the left back is unlikely to be ready for Canada’s June 12 opener in Toronto.
- Canada and Bayern agreed a staged plan that keeps Davies with Bayern’s medical staff through about May 28, with the player due to join the national team in Edmonton on May 31.
- The hamstring tear Davies suffered during Bayern’s Champions League semi-final on May 6 adds to a recent injury run that includes an ACL tear in March 2025 and multiple hamstring problems this season, which has shaped cautious management.
- Canada must name its final 26-player World Cup squad at 7 p.m. ET on Friday, May 29, a deadline that will formalize Davies’ tournament status and force a trade‑off between short‑term availability and his long‑term fitness.
