The left-back picked up a muscle injury to the back of his left thigh during the Champions League semi-final second leg clash against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. An official statement from the Bavarian club read: “Alphonso Davies suffered a muscle injury to the back of his left thigh during the Champions League semi-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. This was confirmed after an examination by Bayern’s medical team. The Canadian international will be out for several weeks.”
Season Over and World Cup Hopes in Doubt
According to “Bild,” Davies’ season has certainly ended prematurely, with the defender set to miss both of Bayern’s remaining Bundesliga fixtures – away at Wolfsburg and at home to Köln – as well as the German Cup final on 23 May against Stuttgart. The same report suggests that Davies’ participation at the 2026 World Cup is now in doubt, adding further concerns for both Bayern Munich and the Canada national team.
| Upcoming Bayern Matches | Date | Davies’ Status |
|---|---|---|
| Wolfsburg (away) | 9 May | Out |
| Köln (home) | 16 May | Out |
| German Cup Final vs Stuttgart | 23 May | Out |
Injury Woes Continue for Canadian Star
This latest setback comes as Davies was already in the process of recovering from a serious injury he suffered in March of last year while representing Canada, causing him to miss a substantial part of the current campaign. Should Davies be unable to feature in the 2026 World Cup, it would represent a major loss for the Canadian national squad.
