Canada Soccer responds after Bayern call out 'negligent' Davies care | OneFootball

Canada Soccer has issued a response following public criticism from Bayern Munich regarding the medical care of Alphonso Davies.

The North American federation earned a callout from the German club after the defender suffered an ACL injury during the international break.

Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen revealed in an interview with Bild that the club was prepared to take legal action after what they deem "grossly negligent" treatment regarding the player's fitness. However, Canada Soccer insists proper protocols were followed.

“We further reviewed the circumstances related to the medical care provided to Alphonso Davies," said Canada Soccer in a statement late on Friday.

"Medical documentation confirms that proper care protocols were followed, and communication records show that our medical staff provided updates to Bayern Munich throughout the entire tournament.

"We spoke further with Bayern Munich today to provide them with context and details to address any misunderstandings.

"We are all focused on supporting Alphonso in the months ahead.”

Davies, who had made 31 club appearances for Bayern this season, is set to be out for six months due to the injury.
