The light at the end of the tunnel. After two months Alphonso Davies is back in training. He does it with all the necessary precautions, because after myocarditis following Covid nobody wants to risk it. It will be a gradual return, but the worst finally seems to be behind us.

The situation

–

The Canadian winger played his last game on December 17. In mid-January, Bayern Munich doctors found myocarditis in checkups following Davies’ Covid recovery. Florian Straube, a highly rated sports cardiologist in Germany, was immediately clear on the recovery time. “In case of myocarditis following Coronavirus infection, the advice is to rest for at least three months. Many think that the vaccine can lead to such problems, but it is much more frequent, although rare, that the problem develops. following infection “. Davies has always been fine, to the point where he had no symptoms whatsoever and he insisted on training and playing regularly. The club, however, has imposed itself: he needed rest. Yesterday morning he finally got back to running. Just 20 minutes at a slow pace, but it’s a start. During the personalized training, the technical staff constantly monitored the frequency of his heartbeat.

The future

In this first week he will continue to train individually in a very mild way, on Friday he will undergo a new medical check-up to be sure that the heart has not been affected in any way by physical efforts. Gradually the workouts you will take part in will be more and more intense. Hopefully, it should be back in about 3-4 weeks. It is therefore difficult for him to play the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League (draw next Friday) scheduled for April 5-6, but for the return match (April 12-13) he could do it. It will take one step at a time. To reach the light at the end of the tunnel.
