Comeback plan set: Alphonso Davies close to Bayern return | OneFootball

For months, Alphonso Davies has been sidelined due to injury at FC Bayern. Now, it has finally been confirmed when the Canadian left-back will return—and Munich fans can look forward to a real boost for the team.

Things are going almost perfectly for the German record champions at the moment: 15 competitive matches, 15 wins—even though two absolute key players, Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, have been missing for months. While a clear comeback plan already exists for Musiala, Davies can now also breathe a sigh of relief on his birthday: his return is getting closer.

As Maximilian Koch from the Münchner Abendzeitung reports, FC Bayern is planning for Alphonso Davies to fully rejoin team training after the November international break. The Canadian has made continuous progress in his rehab over the past few weeks following the torn ACL in his right knee, which he suffered in March during an international match with Canada.

This increases the likelihood that the 25-year-old could be back on the pitch before the end of the year—provided there are no setbacks. Coach Vincent Kompany had already expressed cautious optimism recently: “At first, I hoped he would be back at the beginning of January. As things look now, it might even be a little earlier,” explained the Belgian.

Last appearance dates back to March

Alphonso Davies’ last competitive match was more than seven months ago: on March 15, he was last on the pitch during the 1-0 away win against Union Berlin in the Bundesliga.

Since his move from the Vancouver Whitecaps to Bayern in 2019, Davies has played 226 competitive matches, scored 14 goals, and provided 35 assists. With his speed and attacking drive, he is considered one of the best left-backs in the world—and his return could give Bayern’s already outstanding season another boost.
