Canadian star fullback Alphonso Davies is on road to recovery

Canadian star fullback Alphonso Davies is on the mend, according to Bayern Munich.

The 21-year-old from Edmonton has been sidelined since early January due to symptoms of myocarditis, a heart condition, following a bout of COVID-19.

"He's happily well on the road to recovery," Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann told reporters in German after his team's 4-2 loss at VfL Bochum on Saturday.

"It's still going to take a while. But the dangerous parts considering his heart are certainly gone. He has another appointment in two weeks. The best-case scenario seemed to have happened in terms of the healing process."

Davies watched his teammates train Friday.

Bayern said Jan. 5 that the speedy fullback had joined a lengthy list of players who had tested positive for COVID, adding Davies was well and self-isolating at home.
