Canada's Davies out 'several' weeks with hamstring injury, in doubt for World Cup
Canada captain Alphonso Davies has a left hamstring injury that will sideline him for "several" weeks, Bayern Munich said Friday.
His status for the World Cup is unclear.
Davies' latest setback could keep him out of action for four-to-five weeks, according to TSN's Matthew Scianitti.
Canada, one of the World Cup co-hosts, opens its tournament against Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 12.
"We're in close contact with Alphonso and remain in touch with Bayern's medical team following his recent setback," Canada Soccer said in a statement. "Our focus is on supporting his recovery and providing every available resource, including specialized soft tissue expertise, to give him the best possible pathway back to full fitness ahead of the FIFA World Cup."
Davies appeared to sustain his latest injury after sprinting down the left wing during the latter stages of Bayern Munich's 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal Wednesday. Bayern were eliminated from the competition with a 6-5 aggregate loss.
The 25-year-old is all but guaranteed to miss the remainder of Bayern Munich's season. His attention will now turn toward the World Cup, where he faces a race against the clock to regain fitness in time for the event.
Davies hasn't played for Canada since March 2025, when he tore the ACL in his right knee during the CONCACAF Nations League Finals.
He missed almost nine months due to that injury, and he's battled persistent hamstring issues since recovering and returning to the pitch for Bayern.
In addition to his captain, Canada head coach Jesse Marsch is dealing with injury concerns to several key members of his squad, including the likes of Moise Bombito, Richie Laryea, Promise David, and Ali Ahmed, while other potential starters have only just returned from various ailments of their own.
The deadline for Marsch and his staff to submit Canada's official World Cup roster is June 1.
Canada, still looking to win its first-ever match at a men's World Cup, will play Qatar (June 18) and Switzerland (June 24) after its Group B opener against Bosnia.
