Bayern Munich Considers Legal Action Against Canada Over Davies Injury

The German giant Bayern München is threatening to take legal action against the Canadian football association. This after their star left-back, Alphonso Davies, injured his cruciate ligament in Sunday's international match against the USA – which will keep him out for several months.

We demand a full investigation of the events from the Canadian federation and explicitly reserve the right to take legal action, says Bayern's CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen to the German newspaper Bild.

The club claims that the federation staff did not provide adequate care for the player.

Sending a clearly injured player with a damaged knee on a twelve-hour flight without a thorough medical assessment is, in our opinion, grossly negligent and a clear breach of medical duty, continues Dreesen.

He also says that Davies should not have played the match against the USA in the Concacaf Nations League, which Canada won 2–1.

Davies' participation, where he already had muscle problems beforehand, in a match without sporting significance is incomprehensible from our perspective.

The star full-back is now missing the rest of the season, where Bayern Munich is going for a new German league title and a potential Champions League final at home. They are now in the quarterfinals, where they meet Inter.
