Canada's Alphonso Davies
Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies is expected to miss Canada’s opening match of the 2026 World Cup because of injury, although head coach Jesse Marsch remains confident the captain will feature later in the tournament.
Davies, 25, suffered a hamstring injury while playing for Bayern Munich in their Champions League semi-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain on May 6.
The German club later confirmed he would be sidelined for “several weeks”.
The defender endured another injury-hit campaign in Germany, making just 13 Bundesliga appearances for Bayern.
