Bayern Munich confirmed on Wednesday that key players Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano have sustained injuries, dealing a significant blow to the German club. According to an official statement, French defender Upamecano suffered a left knee injury and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks. Meanwhile, Davies’ injury is more severe, with the Canadian international tearing the cruciate ligament in his right knee, which will require surgery and keep him out for several months.
Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, expressed his disappointment, stating that injuries during international breaks are always a risk, but this time the club has been hit particularly hard. Losing both Davies and Upamecano will severely impact Bayern’s defensive lineup as they push forward in both domestic and European competitions.
Upamecano, who joined Bayern from RB Leipzig in 2021, has been instrumental in securing two Bundesliga titles and two German Super Cups. Davies, a key figure in Bayern’s recent success since his arrival from Vancouver Whitecaps in 2019, has won 13 major trophies with the club, including a Champions League and five Bundesliga titles. Their absence will pose a tough challenge for Bayern in the upcoming fixtures.
