Marsch Rules Alphonso Davies Out of Canada’s March Friendlies With Two-to-Three-Week Hamstring Layoff

The setback comes soon after his return from a 2025 ACL tear.

Overview

  • Canada head coach Jesse Marsch said the Bayern Munich full-back will miss friendlies against Iceland on March 28 and Tunisia on April 1.
  • Davies suffered a hamstring strain in Bayern’s 6-1 Champions League win at Atalanta, leaving the field in visible distress.
  • Marsch estimated a two-to-three week recovery and confirmed Canada will leave him in Munich to complete rehabilitation with the club.
  • Reporting indicates Davies is expected to miss Bayern’s upcoming match against Bayer Leverkusen and the Atalanta second leg in Europe.
  • The absence renews scrutiny of his post-injury management after prior criticism from Bayern’s hierarchy and his agent, which Canada has disputed.
