Overview
- Alphonso Davies sustained a muscle tear in the back of his left thigh during Bayern’s Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint‑Germain, ending his club season and putting the World Cup at risk.
- Bild reports Bayern expect roughly six weeks of rehab, while Canadian sources cite four to five weeks that could cut closer to the tournament.
- Medical guidance reported by Yahoo warns that travel and match demands would interrupt rehab and raise the risk of another injury even if he only travels with Canada.
- Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund and manager Vincent Kompany voiced concern about the psychological toll after a year of setbacks.
- Clubs must release players for the World Cup in about three weeks, and final 26‑man squads are due May 30, leaving little time for a clear decision.
