Bayern Munich announced on Wednesday that the Alphonso Davies end has been diagnosed with an acl torn in its right knee after returning from the international service with Canada, while the French defender Dayot Upamecano has also been diagnosed with loose bodies in the left knee and will leave for several weeks, the club has confirmed.
Davies will undergo surgery and the rest of the current 2024-25 season will be lost, where Bayern Munich will meet Inter in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals with the first leg on April 8 (as always, can capture all the action in Paramount+ and additional coverage in CBS Sports Golazo Golazo Network). Upamecano will also miss the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but it is expected to return before the end of the current spell, since Davies will be available again next season. This double injury is a great blow to the German giants, since the team trained by Vincent Kompany is leading the Bundesliga table with a six -point margin in Bayer Leverkusen.
Alphonso Davies began both Semifinal match and third place in the Concacaf Nations League Against Mexico and the national male team of the United States, but was forced to leave the countryside after 12 minutes against the USMNT of Mauricio Pochettino due to a knee injury. The captain of the Canadian national team was replaced by Niko Sigur, who continued playing instead of the Bayern Munich star as he went back in the 2-1 victory of Canada.
The first reports suggested that Davies’s injury was not too serious, as the CEO of Bayern Munich, Jan-Christian Dresen, who said before Davies had received the “all clear” and had not suffered an important injury confirmed. Unfortunately, the additional medical exams that underwent the players showed otherwise, and now the Canadian end is expected to be lost at least six months of action.
