BAYERN MUNICH are considering legal action against the Canadian Soccer Federation after Alphonso Davies’ injury.
The full-back, 24, is out for the rest of the season due to a torn ligament and further damage to his right knee.
That occurred on Sunday while playing in Canada’s 2-1 victory over the USA in the third-place decider for the CONCACAF Nations League.
The star has undergone surgery after returning to Bayern, who have accused the Canadians of failing to provide “appropriate care”; for Davies.
Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen fumed: “We’re demanding a full investigation into the events from Canada Soccer and expressly reserve the right to take legal action.
“Sending a clearly injured player with a damaged knee on a 12-hour intercontinental flight without a thorough medical assessment is, in our view, grossly negligent and a clear breach of medical duty of care.
“Davies should not have been playing at all.
The participation of Davies, who already had muscular problems before the game, in a match of no sporting significance is incomprehensible from our point our view.”;
Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund also blasted the treatment by Canada’s medical team as he added: “Phonzy complained of fatigue.
“He’s the team captain, a young lad who wants to help his country.

“Then there’s this injury. I think it’s negligent, unprofessional.”;
Bayern boss Vincent Kompany will be without Davies for Bayern’s Bundesliga run-in and quest to reach the Champions League final at their home stadium.
French defender Dayot Upamecano also returned from Nations League duty with a knee injury, although it is not as serious.
Fellow defender Kim Min-jae was already sidelined.
