Davies' Agent Blasts Canada After ACL Injury

Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich is expected to miss several months due to a torn cruciate ligament sustained during Canada’s 2-1 victory over the United States in the Concacaf Nations League third-place match. His agent, Nedal Huoseh, criticized the Canadian national team's management, stating that Davies was pressured to play despite not being fully fit, which he believes made the injury preventable. Huoseh emphasized that national teams must prioritize player health over the emotional impulses of high-stakes matches. Bayern Munich's board member Max Eberl acknowledged the significant impact of Davies’ and teammate Dayot Upamecano's injuries on the team, calling for unity in overcoming these challenges. Coach Jesse Marsch expressed regret over the situation but noted that Davies was feeling anxious about his knee before the match. The injuries come at a crucial time for Bayern as they focus on their Bundesliga and Champions League campaigns.
