Bayern Munich Faces Defensive Crisis After Davies and Upamecano Injuries

Alphonso Davies is out for six months following ACL surgery, while Dayot Upamecano will miss several weeks due to knee cartilage issues, leaving Bayern's defensive lineup severely weakened.

Alphonso Davies suffered a torn ACL during Canada's match against the USA and has undergone surgery, sidelining him for at least six months.
Dayot Upamecano is out for several weeks after being diagnosed with loose cartilage in his knee, compounding Bayern's defensive challenges.
Bayern Munich is exploring replacement options, including Raphael Guerreiro, Hiroki Ito, and Josip Stanisic, though none match Davies' speed and impact.
The controversy over Davies' injury management continues, with his agent accusing Canada Soccer of negligence, claims the federation denies.
These injuries come as Bayern prepares for critical Bundesliga and Champions League matches, raising concerns about their ability to maintain competitiveness.
