In just two or three days, Bayern Munich’s chances of winning the Champions League have significantly diminished. Who knows, maybe the two major gaps in the team caused by the injuries of Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano could even help Bayer Leverkusen close the six-point gap in the final eight rounds of the Bundesliga and join the title race.Bayern’s defense is falling apart! Another injury is here…However, the main topic here is Alphonso Davies. The Canadian international tore his knee ligaments in a match against the United States—perhaps even a friendly one—since it was for third place in the CONCACAF Nations League. In the 12th minute of the game, which Canada won 2-1, Davies left the field but told reporters at the time that he was fine. However, further examinations revealed otherwise. It was confirmed that he had suffered a ligament tear. Because of this situation, Bayern is furious and is threatening to sue the Canadian Football Association for multiple reasons.”We demand a full investigation into the events from the Canadian Football Association and explicitly reserve the right to take legal action,” said Bayern’s CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen to BILD.Devastating loss for Bayern Munich! End of season for DaviesAfter the match, Davies returned to Munich on a long transatlantic flight, and by Wednesday, it was confirmed that he had suffered a serious injury—one of the worst for a footballer. As a result, the speedy left-back had to undergo surgery and will be out of action for at least six months.”Sending an obviously injured player with a damaged knee on a 12-hour intercontinental flight without a thorough medical assessment is, in our view, extremely negligent and a clear violation of medical duty. Davies’ participation, despite already having muscle issues before the match, in a game with no sporting significance, is incomprehensible from our point of view” Dreesen said.😳⚠️ Alphonso Davies’ agent Nedal Huoseh after his client suffered an ACL injury… “I am very disappointed. Alphonso was not 100% after the Mexico game and it was planned that he was not going to start against the USA.” “On Saturday night, the expectation was he would not be… pic.twitter.com/850cahzgfQ— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) March 27, 2025 Bayern’s sporting director, Christoph Freund, shares the same stance as Dreesen.”He is the captain, a young guy who wanted to help his team, but it was risky. The second issue is the injury after just 12 minutes. Then Alphonso flies back on a 12-hour flight, and we all assume it’s not a serious injury, but then we get this. It was sloppy. It was unprofessional, and we need to talk and clear this up. We are the employers, we pay the players, so we will investigate what happened” said Freund. Regardless, the damage is done, and Bayern will have to compete for the Champions League and Bundesliga titles with center-backs Eric Dier and Kim Min-jae. Additionally, Vincent Kompany will also be without the injured Manuel Neuer.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 27FridayLeverkusen – Bochum 3-1 (1-1)/Garcia 20, Boniface 60, Adli 87 – Paslack 26/Saturday17.30: (1.17) Bayern (7.50) St.Pauli (16.0)17.30: (2.45) Hoffenheim (3.40) Augsburg (3.10)17.30: (3.30) Holstein Kiel (3.80) Werder (2.15)17.30: (3.05) M’ gladbach (3.60) RB Leipzig (2.40)17.30: (1.70) Wolfsburg (4.00) Heidenheim (4.90)20.30: (2.45) Eintr.Frankfurt (3.45) Stuttgart (2.80)Sunday16.30: (2.00) Freiburg (3.40) Union Berlin (3.90)18.30: (1.70) Dortmund (4.15) Mainz (4.90)***odds are subject to change***
