It could be a red herring to mess with Switzerland’s preparation, but Canada head coach Jesse Marsch said that he is expecting Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies to hit the pitch for the first time in this tournament.
“The good news is he’s looking great, he’s in training, he looks great, he looks fit, he looks ready to go, excited. So, let’s see how things go, but I expect him to play,” Marsch said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
It is awesome to hear that Davies is making progress, as his injury status
has been discussed in great detail, but this will likely be a game that Bayern Munich fans might be a little nervous about. Davies came back from his ACL injury, only to be felled by two muscular injuries.
While everyone wants Davies back on the field doing what he does best, it could be a tough — or at least nervous — watch for many folks. Let’s hope that it is a safe and successful return for the Canadian star.
