FC Bayern Munich has to do without Alphonso Davies. The Canadian injured his national team. Now the club confirms the bitter diagnosis. Dayot Upamcecano also fails for a long time after the international break.
This twelfth minute at the Concacaf Nation League international match between Canada and the USA (2-1) will still sustainably employ FC Bayern Munich. In the same minute, his left -back Alphonso Davies went down. And in the same minute he, as it turned out, has contracted a cruciate ligament tear. This was confirmed by the club on Wednesday – it is one of the tenderest injuries to professional football.
The season including a possible “final Dahoam” in the Champions League and the club World Cup ran for him. The 24-year-old fails about six months. Only recently had he extended the contract with the record champions to significantly improved references after a long tug of war.
FC Bayern Munich is also missing Dayot Upamecano for a long time
In addition, the central defender Dayot Upamecano will also be canceled in the coming weeks. At Upamecano, free joint bodies were found in the left knee, which means that it will not be available to the record champions. Upamecano had shot France with his converted penalty against Croatia in the Nations League Final Four in Munich and Stuttgart.
“Unfortunately, there is always a risk that players will come back injured during international break – this time it hit us particularly hard,” said Munich sports director Max Eberl on Wednesday. “The failures of Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano weigh heavily for FC Bayern. Phonzy will get all the support he needs on the way back. Upa will also accompany UPA closely in the coming weeks and assume that he will be available to us soon.”
Neuer is also currently missing, Eberl emphasizes: “move closer together”
In particular on the way towards “Finale Dahoam” and at the club World Cup in the USA in the summer, the failures of the absolute regular players hit Munich. After all, the captain of the Munich team is currently missing in the back team: Manuel Neuer is also struggling with his calf injury and will miss the first Bundesliga games after the international break-and possibly also the Champions League first leg in the quarter-finals. And his representative of Jonas Urbig was also struck.
In the Champions League is waiting in the quarterfinals of Italy’s top team Inter Milan, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently warned in the BR24Sport interview.: “We have to deliver two good games with the highest concentration, great respect and also a shot of humility.” Nevertheless, according to these horror reports on Wednesday, Eberl also emphasizes: “Our squad is strong and will catch these failures. We will now move closer together. The quality is there to continue to pursue our big goals.”
