Davies Sustains Injury in First Half

Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies suffered a muscle fiber tear in his right hamstring during Saturday’s 3-2 Bundesliga victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. The injury forced him to be substituted in the 50th minute.

Davies was visibly frustrated after the challenge, holding his leg in discomfort. He was able to walk off the pitch, but the injury is confirmed to be a muscle issue.

Kompany Provides Update

Bayern manager Vincent Kompany offered an update on Davies’ condition after the match, stating, His body language after the game was better than when it happened. Kompany added, I don’t know if 2, 3 or 4 weeks. He will undergo a scan now and then we’ll know more.

The injury is a setback for Davies, who recently returned from a nine-month absence due to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury sustained in March of last year.

Impact on Upcoming Fixtures

This proves likely Davies will miss Bayern’s upcoming Bundesliga clash against Borussia Dortmund next week. The length of his absence remains uncertain pending the results of a scan.

Bayern teammate Joshua Kimmich said, On the pitch, he (Davies) was extremely down and sad because he quickly realized that there was an injury. I don’t know exactly what he has. He was a little more composed in the dressing room. We hope it won’t be too long downtime.

Davies’ Recent Return

Davies has made 12 appearances for Bayern Munich across all competitions since making his comeback from the ACL injury, slowly working his way back into Kompany’s side.
