Alphonso Davies hurts hamstring playing for Bayern
MUNICH, GER. – Canada Captain Alphonso Davies Injured in Bundesliga Match
Over the weekend, Canada’s national team captain, Alphonso Davies, suffered a hamstring injury during Bayern Munich’s 4-2 victory against FC Heidenheim 1846 in Bundesliga action.
Following the match, Bayern Munich confirmed that Davies, alongside French winger Kingsley Coman, both sustained left hamstring strains and will be out of action for the foreseeable future.
Davies, a talented 24-year-old left back hailing from Edmonton, has represented Canada on 56 occasions, contributing 16 goals and 17 assists to the national team. With his contract with Bayern Munich set to expire at the end of the season, Davies has been the subject of transfer speculation linking him to other elite clubs across Europe.
Despite Davies’ injury setback, Bayern Munich continues to dominate the Bundesliga standings with a record of 10 wins, 0 draws, and 3 losses.
The Bundesliga also witnessed a new speed record during the match, with Heidenheim winger Sirlord Conteh clocking in at a remarkable 36.82 km/h, breaking the previous record held by Davies at 36.53 km/h.
