Alphonso Davies has rejoined the Canadian national team as World Cup preparations intensify, though the Bayern Munich left back remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old watched from the sidelines as Canada defeated Uzbekistan 2-0 in Edmonton, running laps before kickoff in his return to the squad environment.

Davies suffered the injury during Bayern Munich's Champions League semifinal draw with Paris Saint-Germain, adding to a difficult year that included an ACL tear in March 2025. Despite the setbacks, he maintains his spot on Canada's 26-player World Cup roster, though both player and coach Jesse Marsch acknowledge uncertainty around his availability. The Canadian captain completed light training work but offered no timeline for competitive action.

Canada's World Cup campaign begins June 12 in Toronto against Bosnia and Herzegovina, leaving limited time for Davies to regain match fitness. Marsch emphasized protecting the player from re-injury, stating medical staff will monitor his daily progress before clearing him for selection. The team's defensive plans remain fluid while awaiting Davies' potential return.

With 15 goals in 58 appearances, Davies represents Canada's most experienced defender, making his fitness a significant concern for the tournament opener.
