Bayern Munich confirm hamstring injury for Davies

Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies is set for a spell on the sidelines after sustaining a hamstring injury, the Bundesliga club have confirmed.

The Canada international was injured late in the first half of Wednesday’s 3-0 Champions League defeat at Feyenoord.

Davies had only recently returned to action after a thigh injury put him out of action last month.

“Alphonso Davies sustained a muscle strain in his left hamstring in the Champions League match at Feyenoord (0-3) on Wednesday night. This was confirmed by a scan carried out by the FC Bayern medical staff,” the club said in a statement, without giving a timeline for the 24-year-old’s return.

Bayern midfielder Joao Palhinha is also out after suffering an abductor muscle injury in November, while a kidney contusion has sidelined goalkeeper Daniel Peretz.

Defender Sacha Boey is yet to make his comeback after suffering a ligament injury last month.

Bundesliga leaders Bayern visit Freiburg on Saturday.
