Minor setback: Bayern plan cautious Davies comeback

Good news for FC Bayern and all fans of the lightning-fast left-back: Alphonso Davies is making further progress after his severe cruciate ligament tear. The 25-year-old has been working intensively on his comeback for weeks – and according to a report by the tz , he could be gradually reintegrated into the game as early as December.

Davies tore his cruciate ligament at the end of March while playing for the Canadian national team and has been out since then. For several weeks now, the left-back has been training individually on the pitch, doing running, passing, and shooting exercises – already showing much of his old dynamism.

Despite the visible progress, sports director Max Eberl urges patience . “Alphonso will not come back and be able to play every three days,” the 52-year-old clarified.

According to tz , Davies’ right leg has not yet fully regained its full range after the operation. He feels slight limitations during certain strains and regularly takes breaks. Nevertheless, the overall progress is positive – the officials are confident that Davies can gradually gain match practice again in December.

Internally, there is hope that the Canadian can rejoin team training after the international break in November (10th–18th). He is initially expected to participate in a limited capacity before Kompany gradually brings him up to competitive level.

Davies’ return would be an important step for coach Vincent Kompany to gain even more flexibility on the left side during the crucial phase of the season. Before his injury, the Canadian was one of the most consistent performers in the team and is considered irreplaceable in the Belgian’s system due to his speed and offensive strength.

Even though Davies won’t be back at 100 percent immediately, Bayern plans to work with him long-term – and wants to gradually bring him back to his former strength.
