Ghanaian born Canadian youngster Alphonso Davies ruled out with knee injury
22nd March 2019
Ghanaian born Canadian youngster Alphonso Davies has a stretched ligament in his right knee that will keep him out of Canada's CONCACAF Nations League qualifying game on Sunday in Vancouver.
Canadian officials had been awaiting final word on Davies' condition from Bayern Munich, but had expected the worst.
Bayern said the 18-year-old attacking midfielder was hurt during the club's 6-0 win over Mainz on Sunday when Davies scored his first Bundesliga goal.
While calling it a "slight ligament problem," Bayern says Davies has "been ordered to rest for a few days by the club's medical department, meaning the attacker will miss Canada's upcoming match against French Guiana on 24 March in Vancouver."
