Davies’ World Cup Return Timeline

Alphonso Davies is back on home soil in Edmonton, cautiously easing back into action after a hamstring injury sidelined him from training camp — but don’t expect him to play just yet. He did light running ahead of Canada’s friendly against Uzbekistan, thrilled to be back with teammates even from the sidelines. With the World Cup looming, Davies’ rehab is being handled carefully by both Bayern Munich and national team coach Jesse Marsch, who’s adamant there’s no rush — health comes first. At 58 caps, 15 goals, and 17 assists, Davies remains Canada’s heartbeat, especially after his iconic goal against Croatia. Though a torn ACL last year has kept him out since March, his return hinges entirely on his recovery progress. While he can’t confirm World Cup readiness yet, his presence — even off the field — fuels the squad. Marsch hopes to gradually reintegrate him, possibly starting with minutes in the opener on June 12th, with more time to contribute as Canada advances.
