Canada will play the second leg of its Nations League tilt against Guatemala without its captain.
Alphonso Davies is flying back to Toronto with the team where he will undergo further evaluation before returning to Munich on Sunday, Canada Soccer said. The second leg of the matchup against Guatemala is set for Monday.
Davies suffered a lower-body injury in Canada's 3-2 win over Guatemala on Friday.
Davies appeared to slip on the grass inside the 18-yard box as Guatemala threatened in the fifth minute of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal opener.
The Canadian star got back to his feet and attempted to block Darwin Lom's shot before calling to the bench.
A grim-faced Davies, who missed most of the FIFA World Cup earlier this year due to a hamstring injury, walked off the pitch without assistance. Ralph Priso came in as a substitute at the six-minute mark.
Friday's game against Guatemala marked Davies' return to the CANMNT starting lineup after missing the majority of his home World Cup. He appeared only once through Canada's five-game run, coming in as a substitute and playing 15 minutes in the Round of 32 win over South Africa.
The 26-year-old has been on and off the pitch since suffering a torn ACL in late March 2025 during a Nations League match for Canada, and has dealt with a string of hamstring issues since returning from that major injury.
However, he's appeared back at full health this season with Bayern Munich, appearing in 15 games in all competitions for the German club while adding three goals and five assists.
