Alphonso Davies has been ruled out of Canada's second leg against Guatemala on Monday and is scheduled to return to Munich on Sunday, a Canada Soccer spokesperson told Ben Steiner.
Davies will travel with the national team to Toronto on Saturday, where he will undergo further assessment after leaving Friday's CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal opener with a lower-body injury.
The Bayern Munich left-back's first start for Canada in over 600 days lasted about five minutes. He slipped and fell awkwardly inside his own penalty area and stayed down before indicating to the bench he needed a substitution.
Davies, who has been plagued by muscle injuries over the past year, walked off the pitch under his own power. Ralph Priso replaced him.

Despite losing Davies to injury and head coach Jesse Marsch to a second-half red card, Canada held on for a 3-2 victory Friday. Tani Oluwaseyi, Liam Millar, and Jonathan David all scored before the interval, and Canada withstood two second-half goals and a late push to hold off Guatemala.
The second leg of the Nations League quarterfinal is Nov. 16 in Toronto. The winner of the two-legged affair advances to the Nations League Finals, a four-team mini-tournament that takes place in March 2027.
Assistant coach Mauro Biello, stepping in for Marsch following the latter's red card, said after the match that Davies is dealing with a lower-body injury.
"(The medical staff) is going to assess him over the next couple of days here, and then we'll get a better idea of the extent of the injury," Biello said.
In Davies' last start for Canada, also in the CONCACAF Nations League, the 26-year-old tore his right ACL. After recovering from the major knee injury, he then suffered a series of hamstring issues that cost him an opportunity to make a genuine impact at this summer's World Cup.
Davies appeared in just one match in that tournament, coming off the bench as a second-half substitute and playing 15 minutes in Canada's historic knockout victory over South Africa.
He's made eight Bundesliga appearances for Bayern Munich this season, starting five times.
