Alphonso Davies to miss three weeks with a muscle injury

"The Canadian national team captain limped off the pitch and headed straight into the tunnel in the 50th minute. After a collision with Frankfurt's Mahmoud Dahoud, Davies was able to run off for around two minutes before signalling to the bench for a substitute. After a medical consultation, the club announced that Alphonso Davies has suffered a muscle fibre tear."

"Davies returned to the pitch in late November last year after a devastating ACL injury. Only recently has he been able to pick up his form and find his rhythm. He had an assist against Hoffenheim last week and clocked in a brilliant first half against Frankfurt. With Davies back in full form, Vincent Kompany possesses an absolute weapon on the left who can make dangerous underlapping runs and complement Luis Diaz."

Bayern Munich edged Eintracht Frankfurt in a nervy win despite a late Frankfurt comeback. Alphonso Davies left the pitch in the 50th minute after a collision with Mahmoud Dahoud and was later diagnosed with a muscle fibre tear. He managed to walk out of the tunnel unassisted and showed limited discomfort after the match. Head coach Vincent Kompany expects Davies to be sidelined for around three weeks. Davies had returned from a devastating ACL injury in late November and had recently regained form, providing an assist against Hoffenheim and a strong first-half performance against Frankfurt. His absence reduced Bayern's left-sided offensive threat after Hiroki Ito replaced him.
