Davies thankful for 'amazing' World XI selection but admits 'there are attributes of my game I can fix'

Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies is thankful for his "amazing" selection in the FIFA Best World XI, but admits "there are attributes of my game I can fix".

Canada international Davies on Thursday became the first North American player to be included in the FIFPRO World XI, having played a key role in Bayern's run to the treble last season.

The 20-year-old contributed three goals and ten assists in 46 outings, with his most notable display coming in the 8-2 demolition of Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals.
