Davies injury clouds Canada's World Cup hopes as defender faces three weeks on sidelines

Davies, who was a second-half substitute ‌against PSG on Wednesday, has struggled with muscle injuries this season, and Bayern's medical team confirmed ⁠on ‌Friday that the fullback's club season was ​practically over.

Davies has made just six Bundesliga starts this ​season, and he has not completed 90 minutes in a match ⁠since February.

With ​Bayern knocked out in the Champions League semi-finals, the German champions have only three matches left ‌this season, including a Cup final against Stuttgart on May 23rd.

But the timing could hardly be worse for Canada, who are set to co-host the World Cup from June 11th. The 25-year-old serves as captain for his ‌country, who begin their group campaign ​against Bosnia on June 12th.

Davies's ‌injury woes have been mounting this season, with the defender already missing friendlies against Iceland and Tunisia in March due ⁠to a ⁠hamstring strain.
