MUNICH – Canadian star Alphonso Davies suffered a ligament strain in his left knee during Bayern’s Munich’s 3-1 Bundesliga win over visiting Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday.

“He twisted his knee,” Bayern head coach Thomas Tuchel told the post-match news conference.

A subsequent examination showed the ligament strain, the club said, adding the fullback faces “a spell on the sidelines.”

Davies was substituted in the 84th minute after making a sliding block to stop an attempted cross. He had used his trademark speed to catch Franck Honorat from behind.

The 23-year-old from Edmonton, who has won 44 caps for Canada, came off after receiving treatment on the pitch. He completed 92 per cent of his passes before having to leave.

Bayern visits Leverkusen next Saturday in a top-of-the-table clash.

For U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter, having the 2026 World Cup final played in New Jersey adds another layer of incentive. Berhalter grew up not far from MetLife Stadium, the venue that will host the championship match of the expanded 48-nation, 104-game tournament. “If there wasn’t motivation already to try to get to the final, there’s a little bit of extra motivation now to be playing, potentially 15 minutes away from where I grew up, in a World Cup final,” Berhalter said in an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, Feb. 5, 2024.(AP Photo/George Walker IV, File)
