Alphonso Davies, a key player for Canada, suffered an injury during a match for Bayern Munich on Saturday. The incident occurred in the 49th minute against Eintracht Frankfurt. After a challenge from Mahmoud Dahoud, Davies appeared to be in significant discomfort and required assistance from the team’s medical staff.
Despite his visible pain, he managed to exit the pitch and walked towards the tunnel independently. This incident raises concerns about his fitness ahead of the upcoming World Cup, especially since Davies had only recently returned to the field after recovering from a torn ACL.
