Bayern Munich wing-back Alphonso Davies suffers heart scare

Bayern Munich wing-back Alphonso Davies has been forced to stop training after a heart scare.

The 21-year-old has not played for the German giants since December 17 after he tested positive for Covid-19.

Now Bayern's manager Julian Nagelsmann has confirmed that the Canadian international has a mild inflammation of the heart.

It was discovered as Davies completed routine medical checks at the club's HQ after recovering from the virus.

And those highlighted signs of mild myocarditis.

The ace is now expected to miss 'weeks' of training as his condition is monitored.
