Alphonso Davies covered his face with his shirt as he left the field with an injury in Bayern Munich’s match against Atalanta in the Champions League on Tuesday, raising questions about the Canadian star’s availability for the World Cup.
Davies collapsed into a crouched position on the pitch after an apparent non-contact injury while playing the ball with Bayern leading 6–0 in the 70th minute. He immediately appeared to be in distress, covering his face and waving his arms in a gesture of frustration.
Teammates gathered around the Canadian left-back to obscure him from view before he was helped off the pitch by Bayern Munich staff, with the neck of his shirt pulled up over his face.
Davies covered his eyes with his hand as he was approached on the touchline by substitute Tom Bischof and coach Vincent Kompany.

Davies was a key player for Canada in its return to the World Cup in 2022 and captained the team at the 2024 Copa America, but has struggled with injuries. He didn’t play for Bayern until December this season after tearing an ACL in his most recent game for Canada in March 2025.
Canada, along with the United States and Mexico, will host the World Cup in June and July.
