Bad news for Bayern Munich! Harry Kane sees key team-mate Alphonso Davies ruled out with hamstring injury as full-back nears contract extension

According to The Athletic, Davies has been ruled out for four to six weeks following a hamstring injury sustained during the team’s 3-0 loss to Feyenoord in the Champions League. The Canadian international limped off in first-half added time after receiving on-field treatment, with Raphael Guerreiro stepping in to replace him. Bayern confirmed the severity of Davies’ injury in a press release on Thursday and further updated his recovery timeline on Friday.

Bayern put out a statement on Davies' injury which read: "Alphonso Davies sustained a muscle strain in his left hamstring in the Champions League match at Feyenoord (0-3) on Wednesday night. This was confirmed by a scan carried out by the FC Bayern medical staff. The 24-year-old will be absent for the German record champions for the time being."

This isn’t the first time Davies has dealt with muscle issues this season. In December, he missed two matches due to a torn muscle fibre. Despite these setbacks, the 23-year-old has been a vital player under manager Vincent Kompany, starting 23 matches and appearing as a substitute twice, contributing one goal and three assists.

Amid his injury concerns, Davies is also in the middle of contract extension talks with Bayern. The left-back’s current deal is set to expire in June, but reports suggest both parties are nearing an agreement. This would be a significant boost for Bayern, as Real Madrid are waiting on the wings to lure the defender to the Santiago Bernabeu as a free agent.

While his absence is a blow for Bayern, it comes at a time when the club is also managing injuries to other key players, including Joao Palhinha and reserve goalkeeper Daniel Peretz. Additionally, right-back Konrad Laimer will miss the upcoming match against Freiburg due to suspension.

The injury will see Davies sidelined for key games over the next few weeks. He is expected to miss Bundesliga matches against Freiburg and Werder Bremen, as well as cup clashes against Slovan Bratislava and Holstein Kiel.
