Alphonso Davies Returns to Bayern Team Training Eight Months After ACL Tear

The left back began a no-contact, staged reintegration that points to a targeted comeback before year-end.

Overview

  • He joined warm-ups and passing drills at Säbener Straße, then skipped duels and small-sided play before doing individual work with rehab coach Simon Martinello.
  • The 25-year-old tore his right ACL with cartilage damage on March 23 while playing for Canada, underwent surgery in Innsbruck by Prof. Dr. Christian Fink, and completed more than 34 weeks of rehab.
  • Vincent Kompany addressed the group as teammates applauded and formed a guard of honor to mark his return.
  • Hiroki Ito has been training in large portions of team sessions for about three weeks, with both defenders expected to be available later this year.
  • Jamal Musiala remains in individual rehab after a lower-leg and ankle injury, with his comeback projected for early next year.
