In an unfortunate event, Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies will be out of action for several months. The reason is that his right knee got a ligament tear and will be undergoing surgery. The 24-year is ruled out for the German record champions for many months. Besides Davies, Dayot Upamecano has also been ruled out for the next few weeks after being diagnosed with loose bodies in his left knee. Alphonos's injury comes 15 months before the start of the 2026 World Cup, which Canada will be co-hosting.
"Unfortunately, there's always the risk of players returning from international breaks with injuries - this time we've been hit particularly hard. The absence of Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano weighs heavily on FC Bayern. Phonzy will get all the support he needs on his road to recovery. We'll also be keeping a close eye on Upa in the coming weeks and expect him to be available again soon," FC Bayern’s Max Eberl said.
Davies' journey with FC Bayern
Davies joined Bayern Munich as a teenager in the 2018-19 season, after coming from the Vancouver Whitecaps, and has been with the club since he was 18. Since then, he has appeared in 226 competitive games for the club, scoring 14 goals and assisting 34 times. In February, he signed a five-year contract extension with the team, putting an end to speculation about a move to Real Madrid.
During his journey with FC Bayern, he successfully won five Bundesliga titles, the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, two DFB Cups, the FIFA Club World Cup, and three German Supercups.
