Bayern Munich star Davies diagnosed with ankle ligament damage after Gold Cup withdrawal

The Canadian defender has returned to Allianz Arena for treatment, but could be a doubt for the start of the 2021-22 campaign

Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies has been diagnosed with ankle ligament damage after withdrawing from the Gold Cup.

Davies was initially named in Canada's 23-man squad for the Gold Cup, but was forced to pull out of the tournament before their opening 4-1 group-stage win over Martinique on Sunday.

The Canadian camp released a statement revealing that the 20-year-old had returned to Allianz Arena to undergo treatment on an ankle issue, and Bayern have now confirmed the full extent of the injury.
