Good news from Munich. The Canadian footballer and one of the best defenders on the planet, Alfonso Davies, started with light training after a break of almost three months. He will not play for Bayern yet, he is certainly not in the protocol for the match of the 27th round of the Bundesliga with Union Berlin (Saturday, 8.30 pm), but he could return to the pitch before the end of the season, when the most important matches are on the schedule.Sat 20:30: (1.18) Bayern (7.75) Union Berlin (13.0)The 21-year-old was a standard part of the first team during the half-season, he recorded four assists in the German championship and two more in the Champions League. Unfortunately, during the New Year’s holidays break, Davies contracted the coronavirus, which left more serious consequences to his health.Specifically, to his heart. He got myocarditis, a disease of the heart muscle, which is why he was forbidden to train. He played his last game on December 17 against Wolfsburg.We’ve missed you too, @AlphonsoDavies! 🥰#MiaSanMia pic.twitter.com/TXQAIwTziV— FC Bayern English (@FCBayernEN) March 14, 2022 Without Davies, Bayern found themselves in trouble from time to time. They won only five of the nine championship games, recorded two defeats (against Monchengladbach and Bochum), as well as two draws, in the last two rounds when meeting Leverkusen and Hoffenheim. Die Rotten also played two games in the Champions League against Salzburg, the score was 1-1 in Austria, and at the Allianz Arena – 7-1 for the Bavarians.In that period, the most trophy-winning German club conceded a total of 14 goals without Davies, 12 of which were in the championship. For the sake of comparison, with the Canadian in the team for the entire half-season, Bayern’s net shook 16 times in the Bundesliga and three more times in the Champions League. It all looked much better with him in the squad, although we must point out that Davies was a part of the debacle in the German Cup, in which Borussia Monchengladbach dismantled Bayern 5-0.Late Witsel’s winner sees Dortmund breathe down Bayern’s neckThe team will have very important matches in April and May, when they will fight for the two biggest trophies. In the Champions League, Bayern will play Villarreal in the quarterfinals, and in the Bundesliga, they are obliged to withstand the attack of Dortmund, which are currently four points behind.”The check-up went good, Alphonso is slowly getting back into his rhythm. He will probably be ready to play in three or four weeks, at least that is our goal. He will play in the Champions League, hopefully against Villarreal, if he works in training as before all these problems emerged.”, said Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann. Bayern must claim victory against Union Berlin without Leon Goretzka, Benjamin Pavard and Niklas Suleas – all three are suffering from injuries.It is not all tip-top at the stands in Bundesliga – fans hit a linesman with a beverage cupDuring the first meeting of the season, the team from the German capital did not manage to torment the Bavarians – Union were defeated 5-2 at home.
