Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies has undergone surgery on a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee and is expected to be out for seven months

Bayern left-back Alphonso Davies underwent knee surgery on Wednesday in Innsbruck, Austria, after tearing the cruciate ligament in his right knee.

As for the specific time of return, Bild predicts that Davis will be out for half a year. T-online further added that he may need to rest for seven months and resume training in October at the earliest.

The 24-year-old Davies joined Bayern Munich in January 2019 and has played 226 times, scoring 14 goals and providing 34 assists. He has won 1 Champions League, 1 Club World Cup, 5 Bundesliga, 1 European Super Cup, 2 German Cups and 3 German Super Cups with the team. He recently renewed his contract with Bayern until June 30, 2030.

However, Davis suffered the first serious injury of his career in the CONCACAF third-place match against the United States. He had been injured in the semi-final against Mexico, but the medical team assessed that he was in good condition to play. As a result, he played for Canada for only 12 minutes before leaving the field due to injury. In response, Davis' agent Nedal Hosse blamed the Canadian Soccer Association and accused it of poor management. He issued the following statement to OneSoccer reporter Christian Jack:

"I'm very disappointed. Alfonso didn't recover after the game against Mexico. He wasn't supposed to start the third-place match against the United States. On Saturday night, the expectation was that he wouldn't be in the starting line-up. As captain, I think he started because of pressure from the coach. Alfonso wouldn't say no in this situation. He played anyway and got injured.

"In my opinion, the Canadian Soccer Association should do a better job in player management. Alphonso is now depressed and very disappointed with the injury. Fortunately, Bayern has a world-class medical team and they will take good care of him. He is expected to undergo surgery in the next 24 hours."

OneSoccer contacted the Canadian Soccer Association about this matter, and the latter denied Jose's statement: "We fully support Alphonso Davies, captain of the men's national football team, and wish him a speedy recovery. Davies' tenacity matches his world-class talent, and we will fully support his recovery process. The coaching staff and experienced medical staff of the Canadian Soccer Association always uphold professionalism and put the safety and health of the players first. Any statement to the contrary is untrue."
