Davies limped off in the second-half of Bayern’s 3–2
win away at Hertha Berlin on Saturday, giving rise to fears he may miss the
showpiece event.
In a statement released on Sunday morning however,
Bayern confirmed the injury was not serious enough to jeopardize Davies’ World
Cup tilt.
“Bayern will have to do without Alphonso Davies for
the last two Bundesliga matches until the winter break,” the club explained.
“The participation in the
World Cup in Qatar of the
Canadian international is not in danger.”
Davies is suffering from a “torn muscle in the back
of (his) right thigh”, club doctors confirmed.
Canada, who open their campaign against Belgium on November
23, are playing in their first World Cup since 1986.
