Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies left Canada’s CONCACAF Nations League third-place game against the United States men’s national team after just 12 minutes on the pitch in California on Sunday.
Canadian staffers expressed hope it was just a knock, but the injury is far from that — Davies has torn his ACL and will not be back until the 2025-26 season..
Davies at first appeared to injure his left ankle, but doctors were quickly taking a look further up the leg..

The 24-year-old left back immediately went down the tunnel in what was a very concerning development for both Canada and Bayern.
Davies’ contract was running down and he had been long-linked with a move to Real Madrid before signing a new deal with Bayern in February that ties him to the Bundesliga club through the 2029-30 season.
The Canadian has played in 31 games for the Bavarians this season. Bayern have a six-point lead in the race to recapture the Bundesliga title and will soon meet Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal stage.
Niko Sigur replaced Davies for Canada on Sunday. Bayern’s other left back options are Raphael Guerreiro and versatile right back Josip Stanicic.
