"'The hardest part of rehab is now over for me,' Davies told FC Bayern TV. 'I'm looking forward to rejoining the team and playing the sport I love.'"
"'I'm running and training well. I just need to put a bit more muscle mass on my right leg.'"
"'When the doctors told me after the injury how long it might take, I thought, "Oh wow, this is going to be a long journey". 'The process is more difficult mentally than physically. Not knowing how long you'll be out and whether you'll be able to do certain things-that's tough.' 'Sometimes the body says, 'I don't want to do this anymore.' Then you have to be mentally strong.'"
Alphonso Davies tore the ACL in his right knee and sustained cartilage damage during international duty against the USA in March, requiring surgery. He has been sidelined for seven months and missed both the end of last season and the start of the current campaign. Bayern Munich have won all six Bundesliga matches and two Champions League games without him, with Konrad Laimer deputising at left-back. Davies reports that the hardest part of rehab is over and that he is running and training well in individual sessions while needing to add muscle mass to his right leg. He describes recovery as mentally tougher than physically and draws on prior injury experience after missing 48 games over three years.
