Canada left-back Alphonso Davies is set for another spell on the sidelines as a frustrating season continues.
Injury Details
Bayern Munich announced on Wednesday that the 25-year-old Edmonton product tore a muscle in his thigh in the team's 6-1 win over Atalanta on Tuesday in the first leg of their Round of 16 Champions League tie.
No recovery timeline was offered by the club, but the injury is similar to the hamstring ailment that kept him out of action for the past two weeks after incurring an issue during a 3-2 win over Eintracht on Feb. 21.
Davies came on to start the second half for Konrad Laimer, assisted on France winger Michael Olise's goal in the 64th minute. Only minutes later, he doubled over in pain near midfield and needed to come off. He made his way to the sideline under his own power, but was clearly in discomfort.
Season Recap
Tuesday's match was Davies' first appearance since the Eintracht match and was his 13th across all competitions this season. He made his season debut in December after recovering from an ACL injury incurred last spring on international duty.
This is his eighth season with the Bundesliga giants since a transfer from Vancouver Whitecaps.
International Window in Doubt
The injury casts doubt on the Canada captain's participation in the next international window set for the end of the month. Jesse Marsch's side is set for friendlies against Iceland and Tunisia at Toronto's BMO Field on Mar. 28 and Mar. 31 respectively.
Other Injury Concerns
Davies wasn't the only injury Bayern was forced to contend with on Tuesday. Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig is sidelined with a concussion, while Germany forward Jamal Musiala aggravated an ankle injury he initially incurred last summer.
Bundesliga Standings
Bayern sits atop the Bundesliga table on 66 points, 11 clear of second-place Borussia Dortmund. Vincent Kompany's squad returns to action on Saturday with a visit to Bayer Leverkusen.
