Canada will be without captain Alphonso Davies for its upcoming CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal against Suriname.

Canada Soccer says the Bayern Munich star has withdrawn as a “precautionary measure due to physical fatigue.”

Vancouver Whitecaps fullback Sam Adekugbe has been called into camp.

The 35th-ranked Canadian men are gathering in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to prepare for a two-game series against No. 136 Suriname. The quarterfinal opens Friday in Paramaribo with the return leg on Nov. 19 at Toronto’s BMO Field.

Davies, a four-time Canada Soccer Player of the Year, has won 56 caps for Canada with 16 goals and 17 assists.

The 24-year-old from Edmonton has played in all 11 Canada games to date this year.

Davies, one of 14 Bayern players called up for international duty during the Nov. 11-19 FIFA window, played the full 90 minutes in Bayern’s 1-0 win Saturday at FC St. Pauli.

Bayern hosts FC Augsburg in Bundesliga action Nov. 23 before entertaining Paris Saint-German in Champions League play on Nov. 26. Bayern closes out the month at Borussia Dortmund on Nov. 30.

Bayern currently tops the Bundesliga table at 8-0-2.
