Overview
- Canada lost 2-1 to Switzerland and finished second in Group B, which means the team will play its Round of 32 match in Los Angeles rather than on home soil.
- Head coach Jesse Marsch said Davies was not fit to play and that he kept the left back on the bench deliberately to make Switzerland prepare for him.
- Davies arrived at the tournament carrying a recent hamstring injury from Bayern Munich’s Champions League semi and has not played for Canada since March 2025.
- Switzerland coach Murat Yakin said his side considered Davies in planning but that individual focus did not change their overall game preparation.
- Marsch said he will evaluate Davies’ involvement going forward while players voiced urgency after the defeat, with striker Promise David reporting a postgame call to 'wake up.'
