Davies returns to ball training with Canada ahead of the World Cup

Alphonso Davies has made a significant step toward his comeback after suffering a thigh muscle tear in early May.

The 25-year-old Bayern München left-back worked with the Canadian national team and trained again with the ball, increasing his training workload.

Davies sustained the injury at the start of May and has been out since. Despite the forced break, Bayern’s star was named in Canada’s World Cup squad to keep his return possibility open during the tournament.

Recent training videos deliver positive signs. While Davies remains in a rebuilding phase, he is steadily approaching his return to competitive match mode.

Whether and when the defender will become an option for Canada at the World Cup remains uncertain. However, the development over the past few days should give officials hope that Davies can still contribute later in the tournament.

The Canadian national team’s official account shared training footage confirming Davies resumed ball work, marking progress from his earlier rehabilitation period where he couldn’t participate in team sessions.

Davies’ speed and attacking prowess from left-back make him vital for Canada’s World Cup ambitions, and his gradual return could prove crucial for the tournament’s later stages.
