Davies Faces Months Out After Torn ACL

Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano face significant time off the pitch due to injuries sustained during international duty. Davies has suffered a torn ACL in his right knee, requiring surgery and sidelining him for several months, impacting his participation in the UEFA Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup. His injury occurred mid-game against the US in the CONCACAF Nations League, with reports suggesting he was pressured to start despite prior fitness concerns. Upamecano, diagnosed with a knee issue, will be out for several weeks. Bayern Munich, leading the Bundesliga and preparing for a Champions League quarterfinal, will need to rely on their squad depth to overcome these challenges. Despite these setbacks, Bayern remains determined to pursue their goals, as affirmed by sporting director Max Eberl.
