Bayern Munich Welcomes Back Alphonso Davies

Davies, who is 25 years old, had been training independently since suffering an ACL tear in March. This injury occurred during a match against the United States while he represented Canada. His fitness is crucial as Canada prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Coach’s Optimism for Upcoming Matches

Bayern’s head coach, Vincent Kompany, expressed optimism about Davies’ recovery. In a statement from October 17, Kompany indicated that Davies might return by December. He initially hoped for a January comeback, but recent progress suggests an earlier return could be possible.

If Davies participates in a few games in December, it would demonstrate the team’s effective rehabilitation efforts. Kompany mentioned, “If things continue to go well, then we might have a very, very fit Alphonso Davies back by then.”

Davies’ Progress Report

Davies shared insights into his training experience, stating, “I’m running and training well.” He noted the need to increase muscle mass in his right leg. Reflecting on the severity of his injury, he said, “When the doctors told me how long it could take after the injury, I thought: ‘Wow, that’s going to be a long journey.’ But it’s all looking good now.”

Canada’s Upcoming Match

As part of their World Cup preparations, Canada is set to face Venezuela in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The match will take place on Tuesday evening, with kickoff scheduled for 8:30 PM ET/5:30 PM PT. Fans can watch the game live on TSN1, TSN.ca, and the TSN App.
