"“Our hope is that we can all work together to do what's best for Phonzy. It's tragic enough that he's picked up an injury ahead of the World Cup on home soil. We'll all work together to ensure he might have a chance - but for that to happen, he needs to get fit. He has to accept that, and he does,” Eberl said, as captured by @iMiaSanMia."
"“Well it is clear that whether or Davies does, in fact, return to the lineup, he likely will be playing through some sort of injury that is not 100%. That might be hard to hear for Bayern Munich fans, but for Canadians it is a desperate attempt to get something out of a World Cup, that will never happen again in their lifetimes, if ever again.”"
"“After bursting onto the scene in Bayern Munich's dominant 2019-20 season under Hansi Flick, the Canadian star has never hit the same levels he reached in that season, largely due to injury.”"
"“With the FIFA World Cup being hosted in Canada in 2026, there is opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime moment for the Canadian player and the Canadian fans. Davies who moved to Canada as a refugee in his youth, loves his country, and his country loves him.”"
Alphonso Davies has suffered another injury this season, limiting his ability to reach the peak levels he showed during Bayern Munich’s 2019-20 run. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, the situation creates a rare opportunity for Davies and Canadian fans, especially given his personal connection to Canada. Max Eberl said Bayern’s hope is to work with Canada Soccer to do what is best for Davies, noting it is tragic that he picked up an injury ahead of a home-soil World Cup. Eberl emphasized that Davies must get fit and accept the need to recover. Even if he returns, he may still play without full fitness, reflecting the urgency of maximizing a once-in-a-lifetime World Cup chance.
