Alphonso Davies at Risk of Missing World Cup Due to Muscle Injury

Posted on: 05/13/2026

Bayern Munich’s Canadian left-back Alphonso Davies is facing a serious dilemma after suffering a muscle tear. Reports suggest he needs around six weeks of rehabilitation before returning to the pitch, but the Canadian national team is pushing to have him available in just three weeks for the upcoming World Cup. According to German newspaper Bild, there is a clash between the club’s recovery plan and the player’s international ambitions. Canada’s medical staff hopes Davies can be fit in four to five weeks to take part in the tournament. However, accelerating his recovery or traveling between countries could jeopardize his rehabilitation and risk further injury, placing the player in a tough position. If Bayern insists on completing his treatment in Munich, Davies may be forced to miss the World Cup on home soil—a rare and significant event in his international career.
