Immediately before the start of the 2022 World Cup, Sadio Mané’s injury from FC Bayern came at an absolutely inopportune time. The attacking man is unlikely to be available to Senegal due to a foot injury in Qatar. In addition, the record champions also have concerns about Alphonso Davies.
The FC Bayern professional is the superstar of the national team in his native Canada, like Sadio Mané is with the Senegalese. Davies’ state of health is therefore being followed particularly closely a week and a half before the start of the World Cup.
He sustained a muscle injury in his right thigh in the Bundesliga game at Hertha BSC (3-2) last weekend and was substituted in the second half.
FC Bayern: Alphonso Davies comments on the state of health
The 22-year-old himself brought relief to millions of Canadian soccer fans by speaking to media on Thursday.
“I’m still in a bit of pain, but overall I feel good and I’ll be at 100 percent for the World Cup,” promised the FC Bayern left-back, who usually plays a much more offensive role for his national team and with Canada at his first World Cup – Participation wants to cause a sensation.
Canadian squad announcement on Sunday
According to the tempo dribbler, the schedule to be fully operational again in time for the group games against Belgium (November 23), Croatia (November 27) and Morocco (December 1) was shown to the tempo dribbler: “The doctors told me that I’ll be fit again in two weeks.”
Next Sunday, the Canadian national coach John Herdman will announce his squad for the World Cup.
The fact that Davies, who has played 19 competitive games for FC Bayern this season, will be there is beyond doubt.
