The circumstances of the serious injury to Bayern player Alphonso Davies continue to cause vortex. His home association is trying to compensate, but rejects Bayern’s allegations.
The Canadian Football Association has defended itself against the accusations of FC Bayern because of the serious injury to Alphonso Davies. The Canadian star player suffered a cruciate ligament tear in the 2-1 against the United States last Sunday and will be missing for months.
“The medical documents confirm that the treatment protocols were properly complied with,” said a association spokesman for the online service “The Athletic”. “Communication protocols show that our medical staff has always kept FC Bayern Munich up to date throughout the tournament,” said the spokesman. The record champions had announced a lawsuit against the association. Accordingly, Bayern at Davies did not assume a serious injury. A cruciate ligament tear had only revealed itself after his return.
Vincent Kompany does not want to comment
“In our view, sending an obviously injured player with a battered knee without a well-founded medical clarification is grossly negligent and a clear violation of the medical care obligation,” said CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen of the “Bild” newspaper. In addition, Davies complained about muscular problems before the game.
The Canadian association now tries to smooth the waves. “We all focus on supporting Alphonso in the coming months,” said the spokesman. Accordingly, before this weekend there was “talking to FC Bayern Munich again in order to provide them with context and details and to clear out misunderstandings”.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany did not want to comment on the dispute before the league game against FC St. Pauli. There is a lot of talk, he said on Sky, but his full focus is only on the game and the master fight.
