Davies in tears in latest injury blow for Bayern

Bayern Munich effectively booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals with a ruthless 6-1 destruction of Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium, but the evening was overshadowed by a distressing injury to Alphonso Davies. Having only just returned to the continental stage as a half-time substitute, the Canadian international was forced off in the 71st minute after appearing to suffer a non-contact injury. The sight of the full-back pulling his shirt over his head to hide his tears was a heart-wrenching moment for Vincent Kompany’s side, specifically as the defender has been plagued by fitness issues throughout the current campaign.
