Bayern Munich's convincing 6-1 victory over Atalanta in Bergamo was overshadowed by an injury to Alphonso Davies (25), who left the field in tears, causing great concern for both the club and the Canadian national team.
Just three months before the start of the World Championship, in which Canada is one of the host countries, the star of the Bavarians suffered a new bad luck. His tear-stained face as he left the pitch in the 71st minute speaks volumes for the potential gravity of the situation.
The World Championship, in doubt for Alphonso Davies
The left-back came on at half-time, but after only 26 minutes he felt pain and had to be substituted. Although he fears the worst, the final diagnosis will only be known after detailed medical examinations. His presence on the field immediately left his mark on the Bavarians' game, he managed to make the decisive pass for Bayern's 5th goal.

This is not the first serious injury for the 25-year-old footballer. In the past, he has missed a lot of time due to knee problems, which also cost him his place in the first eleven of the team in Germany. Now, everyone hopes that the new injury is not of a serious nature and that Davies will be ready for the challenges that await him at the club, but also for the participation in the World Cup.
Alphonso Davies left the field in tears
His dream of playing at a major competition in front of his home crowd is now in doubt. Supporters expressed their displeasure on social media, believing the club had brought Davies back on the pitch too soon.
Davies was brought to Bayern in 2019 by then sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic for €14 million, which many saw as a risky move. However, the Canadian quickly proved himself and became one of the best left-backs in the world before injuries slowed him down.
