Overview
- Alphonso Davies is continuing a cautious return from a prior ACL tear and multiple muscle injuries and has not been cleared to play yet.
- Davies watched Canada’s 1:1 friendly with Ireland from the sidelines as his availability for the June 12 opener against Bosnia remains undecided.
- Coach Jesse Marsch and Bayern staff say they are evaluating his progress day to day and will not rush him back if tests or training do not go well.
- Canada also faces other fitness questions after Marcelo Flores suffered an injury that left a roster spot open and defender Moise Bombito showed recent hamstring trouble.
- If Davies is unavailable, Canada will need to adjust its tactical plan and depth on the left flank, and the squad’s final composition will hinge on medical checks in the coming days.
