The FIFA virus has struck again. If FC Barcelona was not spared, especially with the injury of Pau Cubarsi with Spain, Bayern Munich lost two very important players. Indeed, the residents of the Allianz Arena announced this Wednesday morning via a press release published on their official website The long absences of Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano, who passed the international truce of March with Canada and France.

The tile for Davies

“FC Bayern will have to do without Alphonso Davies for a long time after the international break. In addition, Dayot Upamecano will be absent for the coming weeks. Davies received a diagnosis of tear of the cross -knee cross ligament after returning from the Canadian national team. It will be operated on today. The 24 -year -old will be absent from the German record championship for several months. Upamecano has been diagnosed with loose joints at the left knee, which means that it will be unavailable for FC Bayern for several weeks. ”

Two very bad news for the Bavarians, who still have many challenges to take up this season whether in the Bundesliga or in the Champions League, where they will face Inter Milan in the 1/4 final in early April. For Davies, the blow is tough. After having hesitated for a long time between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, the Canadian, who was then at the end of the contract, finally agreed to continue the adventure with the Rekordmeister on February 4. His club was quick to announce the good news.

Bayern Munich takes this hard blow

“Alphonso Davies has signed a contract extension with FC Bayern until June 30, 2030. The 24 -year -old Canadian international has been going to the club since the 2018/19 season after his visit to the Whitecaps in Vancouver”could be read on the official Bayern Munich website. A club that had not hesitated to offer him a very big salary to convince him to stay. His big injury, which occurred in the 2-1 victory against the United States in California in the League of Nations, therefore arrived at a very bad time. The sports director of the German team, Max Eberl, also talked about it this Wednesday.

“Unfortunately, during international trucers, the risk of returning from injured players is still present. This time, it's particularly hard for us. The absences of Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano are a blow for FC Bayern. Phonzy will benefit from all the support necessary for his return. We will also follow UPA closely in the coming weeks and hope it will be available again soon. Our workforce is solid and will compensate for these absences. We will now collaborate even more closely. We have the qualities to pursue our big goals. ” It will have to be done without Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano.
