Davies Could Return for Canada's World Cup Opener
Description
Alphonso Davies is on the mend from a hamstring strain and could make Canada’s historic World Cup opener in Toronto against Bosnia on June 12th—though he’s not yet fully training with the squad. A deleted interview suggesting he’d miss the game has been clarified; his condition has improved since recording. Coach Jesse Marsch calls him a “freak athlete” and won’t rule him out, emphasizing daily progress. Davies, emotionally weighed down by past injuries including an ACL tear, admits he feared missing this dream moment since age 17—but his resilience and support team are pushing him to return safely. Even if he can’t start, Canada’s depth, especially at fullback with players like Richie Laryea stepping up, ensures they’re ready. If Davies plays, his next chance is June 18th against Qatar in Vancouver, with the group stage wrapping up June 24th against Switzerland.
