Alphonso Davies Says Team-Training Return Is Close After ACL Layoff

The 24-year-old reports strong progress but remains on an individual program to rebuild strength in his right leg.

Overview

  • Davies says the toughest phase of his rehabilitation is behind him and that he is eager to rejoin FC Bayern’s squad work.
  • He reports he is running and training well but still needs to add muscle mass to his right leg, and no date is set for team training.
  • Since early September he has completed individual sessions with the ball and describes the process as mentally harder than physically.
  • The left-back tore his ACL in March while on duty with Canada, an injury that has kept him out for more than six months.
  • Bayern hope Davies, Jamal Musiala and Hiroki Ito can be back on the pitch before year-end, and a past dispute with Canada’s federation was followed by the club announcing financial compensation.
