Can CanMNT rely on Alphonso DAVIES for the World Cup?

Alphonso Davies’s injury troubles have continued, as the CanMNT captain picked up another muscle problem while playing for Bayern Munich, one that is serious enough to put his World Cup participation with Canada in doubt. Now, he faces a race against the clock to return to full fitness, and even if that goes well, it’s hard to imagine him being at his best this summer, which could affect the CanMNT’s plans. In better news, however, some other Canadians are thriving abroad, including Jacob Shaffelburg, Liam Millar and Cyle Larin - in particular, there will be a lot of Canadian interest in the EFL Championship promotion final this weekend, with Millar’s Hull City and Larin’s Southampton set to face off in football’s most lucrative match (unless Southampton’s spygate scandal opens the door for Alfie Jones and Middlesborough to get back into the promotion mix). Elsewhere, some key CanWNT players are also thriving in the NWSL, which is good news for Casey Stoney as she continues to get set for the next Canadian Women’s National Team camp.  Hosted on Acast.
