DORTMUND: Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies suffered a muscle injury during Saturday&#8217;s 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at Allianz Arena, the German club said.
Davies, who recently returned to action after a long-term knee injury, was replaced by Hiroki Ito in the 50th minute after the Canadian collapsed and required medical treatment.
&#8220;Alphonso Davies suffered a torn muscle fibre in his right hamstring in the 3-2 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. This was confirmed by &#8230; FC Bayern’s medical unit,&#8221; the side said in a statement.
&#8220;The defender will be sidelined for the time being,&#8221; it added.
While the length of Davies&#8217; absence remains unconfirmed, manager Vincent Kompany expressed hope he would return within two to four weeks.
&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t look so bad,&#8221; Kompany said after the match.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it will be two or four weeks,&#8221; he told reporters. &#8220;My gut feeling is that it won&#8217;t take that long,&#8221; he added.
Bayern, who are on top of the Bundesliga table with 60 points in 23 games, will face the second-placed Borussia Dortmund next Saturday.
