"I just want to say thank you everyone for the nice messages and I'm looking forward to being back on the pitch soon," Davies said in a message posted to Instagram.

The incident occurred in the 45th minute at Signal Iduna Park when Davies challenged Dortmund's Jude Bellingham for the ball. The English midfielder, using his body to shield the ball from Davies, knocked the ball into the air with his right foot, looking to pivot and knock it away from the Canadian. 

Davies got his head to the ball first and Bellingham's boot connected with his face, not the ball. The 21-year-old from Edmonton then fell to the ground, clutching his face.

Davies received treatment and looked unsteady as he was helped off the field on the eve of halftime.

Dortmund rallied to tie the game 2-2 on goals in the 74th and 90th minute.
