Injured Canadian captain Alphonso Davies named to World Cup training camp roster
Davies returns despite recent hamstring injuries as Jesse Marsch gets a final look before Canada names its official World Cup roster.
- Head coach Jesse Marsch named 32 players to Canada's pre-World Cup training camp in Charlotte on Monday, including Bayern Munich left back Alphonso Davies despite uncertainty over his availability due to a recent hamstring injury.
- Bayern Munich's tensions with Canada Soccer stem from a mishandled ACL diagnosis in March 2025; the club reportedly is insisting Davies undergo medical clearance from Bayern's team doctors before international duty.
- Davies played only 851 minutes this season after 311 days sidelined by injuries, with his most recent hamstring strain sustained in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain; a June 18 or June 24 return appears more likely than the June 12 opener.
- Marsch will announce the final 26-player roster on Friday, May 29, at 7 p.m., cutting six players from camp. He said: "These are the final days before we announce the squad that will represent Canada at a home World Cup."
- The expanded 48-team tournament spans 16 cities across Canada, the United States and Mexico with 104 games from June 11 through July 19, as Canada seeks to build on its 2024 Copa América semifinal run on home soil.
