Alphonso Davies will miss Canada's World Cup opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina, coach Jesse Marsch has confirmed.

According to BuLi News, Marsch told his pre-match press conference the Bayern Munich star, Canada's captain, will not feature on Friday at 21:00 CEST as he continues to recover from a muscle injury.

He said an MRI earlier this week showed very positive signs, with the injury healing almost completely, and the staff are preparing to increase his workload.

Marsch added that Davies has consistently shown a strong ability to recover from muscle problems.

He stressed they are hopeful that over the next days and weeks they can accelerate his work to give him a chance to contribute.
