Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies, who suffered a serious knee injury, has updated his recovery status after seven months out.
This process is more mentally difficult than physically. It’s hard not knowing how long you’ll be out and about whether you’ll be able to do certain things

The Canadian soccer player had renewed his contract with Bayern when he was linked with a move to Real Madrid before his injury, but he tore the cruciate ligament in his right knee while representing Canada against the United States in late March 2025.
Alphonso Davies: “The most difficult part of my rehabilitation is over”
Alphonso Davies also suffered cartilage damage and had to undergo surgery.
Davies, who has now been replaced by Konrad Reimer, told FC Bayern TV: “The most difficult part of my rehabilitation has already passed. I’m really looking forward to getting back to the team and playing the sport I love.”
I’m running and training well. I need to increase the muscle mass in my right leg a little more.
Alphonso Davies has not yet been able to train with the rest of his teammates, but is working on himself and hopes to be back on the pitch soon.
“I’m doing well with my running and training. I need to increase the muscle mass in my right leg a little more,” he said.
Alphonso Davies admitted: “This process is more difficult mentally than physically. It’s difficult not knowing how long you’ll be out and whether you’ll be able to do certain things.”
“Sometimes your body says, ‘Enough is enough!’ Then you have to be mentally strong,” he said.
Davis, who has missed 48 games for the team over the past three years, acknowledged, “There’s no point in getting discouraged, complaining or feeling sorry for yourself. Injuries like this are part of the sport.”
“The only thing I can do now is fight to recover, not so quickly, but in the safest way possible,” the Canadian said.
