Canada World Cup dream still alive for Bayern Munich wing-back Davies

Bayern Munich wing-back Alphonso Davies could yet make Canada's World Cup squad.

Davies is set to appear for Canada in the tournament, but worries grew after he suffered a hamstring strain against Hertha Berlin.

Bayern have calmed fears over his injury and confirmed that his spot at the World Cup is "not at risk".

The Bavarian club has also said that the defender will not be playing in their remaining league fixtures against Werder Breman and Schalke before the start of the World Cup.

A club statement said: "FC Bayern will be without Alphonso Davies for the two remaining Bundesliga games prior to the winter break.

"The 22-year-old full-back suffered a hamstring strain in the 3-2 win at Hertha BSC on Saturday.

"The diagnosis was confirmed by the German record champions' medical unit.

"The Canada international's participation in the World Cup in Qatar is not at risk."
