Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies out for six months with ACL injury

Bayern Munich's Canadian defender Alphonso Davies has been diagnosed with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, sustaining the injury during Canada's recent match against the United States in the CONCACAF Nations League. The club confirmed that he will undergo surgery and is expected to be sidelined for at least six months, effectively ending his season. Bayern Munich is also dealing with the absence of Dayot Upamecano, who is expected to be out for several weeks due to a knee injury. Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl lamented the impact of international breaks on player injuries and expressed confidence in the team's ability to adapt despite these setbacks. The injuries come as Bayern Munich strives for success in both the Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League, where they currently lead the league and face Inter Milan in upcoming matches. The loss of Davies is particularly significant, given his contributions to the team this season, where he has made 31 appearances and played a key role in maintaining their competitive edge.
