Bayern Munich Consider Legal Action Over Alphonso Davies' Injury

Bayern Munich is considering legal action against Canada's soccer federation following Alphonso Davies' knee injury in a low-stakes game. The club alleges negligence in handling the player’s injury and questions his participation given prior health issues. Davies is sidelined for months, affecting Bayern's competitive season.

Bayern Munich is contemplating legal proceedings against the Canadian Soccer Federation, spurred by Alphonso Davies' severe knee injury sustained in what the club views as an inconsequential match.

Bayern's CEO, Jan-Christian Dreesen, called for a thorough investigation into the incident and expressed readiness to pursue legal action. Davies suffered a ligament tear and additional injuries on his right knee during Canada's 2-1 victory over the United States in their fight for third place in the CONCACAF Nations League.

Returning to Munich, Davies underwent surgery with reports confirming his absence for several months. Criticism arose over Canada's alleged inadequate care, exacerbated by sending him on a long flight without a comprehensive medical evaluation. Bayern executives deemed the situation negligent, raising questions about player safety protocols.
