Bayern Munich may have to do without Canadian star fullback Alphonso Davies for the final five matches of its season. The Bavarian powerhouse said Sunday that Davies "sustained a muscle bundle injury" in the back of his left thigh during the 3-1 loss at Mainz in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Davies had to come off in the ninth minute. The 22-year-old from Edmonton pulled up after accelerating past Mainz fullback Silvan Widmer, wasting no time signalling to the Bayern bench that he had a problem.
Bayern did not say how much time Davies will miss. There are just five rounds remaining in the Bundesliga. Bayern has already been knocked out of the Champions League and German Cup and it lost the Bundesliga lead to Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
