"I've spoken to him. He's obviously a little sad and frustrated. But he said that this injury - even compared to the one he had about a month ago - is much less severe. It will probably take him two to three weeks to get back."
"My message to him was: 'Stay positive. It is not easy when you come back from such a long-term injury. Everything will be fine. You are young and strong. We just have to take the right steps to make sure that no further setbacks' occur."
Alphonso Davies sustained a muscle strain in his right thigh while playing for Bayern Munich in their Champions League match against Atalanta, exiting after 26 minutes. Canada head coach Jesse Marsch confirmed the injury is less severe than Davies' previous muscle injury from last month. Recovery is expected within two to three weeks. Davies has struggled with fitness this season, appearing in only eight Bundesliga matches and four Champions League games following his ACL injury last year. He will miss Canada's friendlies against Iceland and Tunisia but is anticipated to return promptly. Davies is set to captain Canada at the World Cup this summer and plays a crucial role in Bayern's pursuit of the treble.
