Bayern Munich Blames Canada Soccer for Alphonso Davies ACL Injury

The German club accuses Canada Soccer of gross negligence and considers legal action after Davies is sidelined for six months.

Alphonso Davies suffered a torn ACL during Canada's 2-1 win over the United States in the CONCACAF Nations League third-place playoff on March 23, 2025.
Bayern Munich criticized Canada Soccer for allowing Davies to play despite signs of fatigue and for sending him on a 12-hour flight without a thorough medical assessment.
Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and sporting director Christoph Freund described Canada Soccer's actions as negligent and unprofessional, demanding a full investigation.
The injury sidelines Davies for at least six months, impacting Bayern's Bundesliga and Champions League campaigns, alongside the absence of defender Dayot Upamecano.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany emphasized the need for the team to adapt and maintain focus on upcoming matches despite the setbacks.
