Alphonso Davies injured himself celebrating goal, out of Canada squad | OneFootball

Alphonso Davies had a lot to celebrate, scoring his first Bayern goal in their 6-0 rout of Mainz.

However, according to Canada manager John Herdman, Davies ‘felt something’ during his celebrations and has now been removed from Canada’s Nations League Qualifying squad that will face French Guiana.

“After the game, it flared up a little bit,” Herdman said in an interview.

“It’s been enough for Bayern Munich to put (up) that level of caution and try and hold him back.”

“We’ll still wait on Alphonso. We’re still gathering information.

“But at this stage he won’t be released from his club until everything’s clear on the (medical) steps that they have to take and we have to take.

“It could be a bit of a waiting game for a couple of days to get full confirmation but the prognosis wasn’t good.”

Canada need at least a point on Sunday or some help to qualify for the 2019 Gold Cup.
