Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies will be sidelined for several weeks after injuring his left hamstring during the Champions League semi-final second leg against Paris St Germain, dealing a major blow to Canada's World Cup preparations.
The 25-year-old fullback, who serves as Canada's captain, has struggled with muscle injuries this season, making just six Bundesliga starts and failing to complete 90 minutes since February. Bayern's medical team confirmed his club season is effectively over.
With Canada set to co-host the World Cup beginning June 11, the timing is critical. Canada opens group play against Bosnia on June 12. Davies already missed March friendlies against Iceland and Tunisia due to a hamstring strain.
