Overview
- Davies injured his left hamstring in Bayern Munich’s Champions League semi-final and confirmed he will not be available for Canada’s June 12 opener in Toronto.
- Canada say Davies is training and rehabbing separately in camp, doing jogging and stretching work while being checked daily by Canada’s staff in coordination with Bayern’s medical team.
- Head coach Jesse Marsch has cautioned the team will not rush him back and will protect Davies from further risk by following the club-agreed staged recovery plan.
- Davies remains on the 26-player World Cup roster and has expressed hope of playing later in the tournament if his body responds to treatment, though that availability is not yet certain.
- The left back’s latest setback follows a torn ACL last year and other recent issues, prompting mental strain for Davies and unconfirmed media reports that Bayern have long-term fitness concerns and are open to offers.
