Canadian star Alphonso Davies strains knee ligament in Bayern Munich win

MUNICH — Canadian star Alphonso Davies suffered a ligament strain in his left knee during Bayern’s Munich’s 3-1 Bundesliga win over visiting Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday.

“He twisted his knee,” Bayern head coach Thomas Tuchel told the post-match news conference.

A subsequent examination showed the ligament strain, the club said, adding the fullback faces “a spell on the sidelines.”

Davies was substituted in the 84th minute after making a sliding block to stop an attempted cross. He had used his trademark speed to catch Franck Honorat from behind.
