Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies on injury comeback

Jan 5, 2026 - 03:00

Waving goodbye to a bittersweet year that brought the boon of a contract renewal with the Bavarian giants before injury heartache struck, Canada's captain is finally fully fit again and looking ahead to what could be a monumental 12 months.

It was in March 2025 - not long after Davies penned a new deal with Bayern that runs until 2030 - that the left-sided dynamo tore the cruciate ligament in his right knee and damaged his meniscus while on international duty with Canada.

Following an operation to repair the damage, a long rehabilitation period and recovery process began. Indeed, it would be 261 days until the 25-year-old finally made his on-field return to action.
