Alphonso Davies left Bayern Munich's 6-1 Champions League victory over Atalanta in tears, raising serious concerns about his availability for Canada's World Cup campaign. The Bayern Munich left-back suffered what appeared to be a non-contact injury in the 70th minute, pulling his shirt over his face as he was helped off the field.

Davies' potential absence compounds Bayern's injury woes, with Jamal Musiala and goalkeeper Jonas Urbig also leaving the match hurt. Coach Vincent Kompany suggested Davies' injury might be manageable but acknowledged the team would need to cope without him for upcoming fixtures. The win itself was emphatic, with Michael Olise, Nicolas Jackson, and Serge Gnabry scoring as Harry Kane watched from the bench.

The timing couldn't be worse for Canada, co-hosting the World Cup this summer alongside the United States and Mexico. Davies, who captained Canada at the 2024 Copa América, has already missed significant time this season after tearing his ACL last March. Canada faces Iceland and Tunisia in warm-up matches later this month, with Davies' fitness now uncertain for those crucial preparations.
