INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Alphonso Davies is available to play when Canada begins the World Cup knockout rounds, coach Jesse Marsch said Saturday.And this time, Marsch sounded like he actually meant it.Marsch admitted this week that he used his team captain and Bayern Munich star as a decoy during group play, employing gamesmanship to compel Canada’s opponents to game-plan for someone who wasn’t actually ready to return from his hamstring injury.The situation has now changed, Marsch claimed at SoFi Stadium, where the World Cup co-hosts will play on the road Sunday against South Africa to open the Round of 32. Canada’s most famous soccer player is really ready to play, and Davies made it clear he’s expecting to be on the field in some capacity.“Now that we have Alphonso back and healthy and ready to perform, I think it’s a big moment for the team and a big boost for the team,” Marsch said. “I think in general, all the players that came into camp with little injuries are now really close to 100% and ready to perform at the highest level and be at our best in these matches.”Marsch and Davies decided the left back wouldn’t rush through protocols to suit up after Davies injured his hamstring three times in the past four months, including in the Champions League semifinals last month. Marsch still said publicly that Davies was available for Canada’s two most recent games, which he technically was — but that soft deception is no longer necessary, the American coach said.
