The left-back slipped while defending inside his own penalty area during Friday’s Concacaf Nations League quarter-final first leg. He got back to his feet and attempted to block the subsequent shot, but then signalled to the bench that he could not continue.
Davies was replaced by Ralph Priso in the sixth minute, bringing an abrupt end to his first start for Canada in almost two years.
Canada assistant coach Mauro Biello confirmed after the match that the 25-year-old had suffered a lower-body injury, although the precise nature and severity were not yet known.
“It’s a lower-body injury right now,” Biello said. “They’re going to assess him over the next couple of days here and then we’ll get a better idea on the extent of the injury.”
According to German reports, Davies is returning directly to Munich for further examinations. Kicker reported that Bayern will assess him in detail, while Bild indicated that a muscle injury is suspected.
The setback is particularly concerning given the defender’s recent injury history. Davies suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in March 2025 and subsequently experienced further muscle problems during his recovery, missing much of the period that followed.
He had finally enjoyed a more settled start to the current campaign with Bayern, making 15 appearances in all competitions and contributing three goals and five assists, according to the figures reported before the international break.
Canada still managed to secure a 3-2 victory in Guatemala, with Tani Oluwaseyi, Liam Millar and Jonathan David scoring before half-time. However, the result was overshadowed by the early loss of their captain.
Davies’ availability for Monday’s second leg in Toronto is now in doubt, while Bayern Munich will wait for the results of his medical assessment before determining how long he might be unavailable.
The club will be especially keen to establish whether the latest problem is connected to the muscle injuries that disrupted his return from the serious knee injury. At this stage, however, no diagnosis or recovery timetable has been confirmed.
