Bayern Munich hit with two important injuries, including an ACL tear for Alphonso Davies

Alphonso Davies has suffered the most feared injury a footballer can sustain: tearing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a knee injury that takes several months to recover. Undoubtedly, he will not be able to finish the season at Bayern Munich, which includes the Champions League quarter-finals, and also the FIFA Club World Cup in June-July.

"Unfortunately, there's always the risk of players returning from international breaks with injuries - this time we've been hit particularly hard", said Max Eberl, FC Bayern board member for sport. Davies, who sustained the injury in a 2-1 Canada win over the USA, is not the only injured: Dayot Upamecano has also been diagnosed with loose bodied in his left knee, and will be ruled out for several weeks. He suffered the injury in France's victory over Croatia on penalties last Sunday in the Nations League,

Eberl acknowledges that their absence will weigh heavily on FC Bayern, but say they have a strong squad and will compensate for these absences. "We'll now grow even closer together. The quality is there to continue pursuing our big goals."
