Canada issues statement after Alphonso Davies suffers left hamstring injury with Bayern –

Alphonso Davies suffered a muscle injury in the back of his left thigh during Bayern Munich’s Champions League semifinal second leg against Paris Saint-Germain and will be out of action for several weeks, the club’s medical examination confirmed. Canada’s national team has issued an official response saying it is in close contact with Davies and Bayern’s medical staff and will provide support ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

What happened and where it matters

According to the club’s statement, Davies picked up the muscle injury after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute against PSG. He assisted Harry Kane during his near-30 minutes on the field but subsequently sustained the left hamstring issue that the FC Bayern medical unit says will keep him sidelined for several weeks. The timing places the recovery window worryingly close to the 2026 World Cup, which opens for Canada on June 12 against Bosnia and Herzegovina at BMO Field in Toronto.

Canada’s official response and support plans

Canada’s national team posted a message on its official X account confirming close contact with Davies and Bayern’s medical team. The federation said its focus is on supporting his recovery and providing every available resource, including specialized soft tissue expertise, to give him the best possible pathway back to full fitness ahead of the World Cup.

Implications for Bayern and Canada

Bayern still have two Bundesliga matches remaining this season and a DFB-Pokal final on May 23. The club statement did not provide an exact return date, and described the absence as lasting "several weeks," making Davies’s availability for the cup final uncertain. For Canada, Davies is a key player and the timing means there is a little over a month between the injury announcement and Canada’s opening World Cup match; the national team will coordinate medical resources with Bayern as part of their recovery plan.
