Alphonso Davies has to slow down for a while.

FC Bayern Munich currently has to do without Alphonso Davies. A myocarditis forces him to take a break. Approximately how long will Davies be out? SPOX clarifies.

The “roadrunner” is left out: Alphons Davies has not played for FC Bayern Munich since the 4-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg on December 17, 2021.

The 21-year-old Canadian was initially condemned to quarantine due to a coronavirus infection before it was diagnosed on January 13: Davies suffered from heart muscle inflammation.

FC Bayern Munich: How long will Alphonso Davies be out?

A setback that is not to be trifled with, especially in professional sports. “He’s out of training for the time being. He won’t be available, not even for the next few weeks. This myocarditis isn’t that dramatic on the ultrasound, it’s a sign of myocarditis. Nevertheless, it has to heal and it takes time In any case, for a certain amount of time,” said coach Julian Nagelsmann the day after the examination.

A little later, the 34-year-old called sky “at least four weeks” as the estimated downtime. Davies would therefore return to team training in mid-February and would then certainly need some time to get back into shape and be eligible for competitive matches.

However, it seems more likely that the pure downtime is more than four weeks, if only for reasons of caution. Cardiologists even recommend that athletes take a break of three to six months in such cases. But it shouldn’t take that long for Davies.

FC Bayern Munich: Alphonso Davies will definitely miss these games

The nimble left-back has missed three Bayern games since his last appearance. Based on Nagelsmann’s forecast, Davies will now play at least in the Bundesliga against RB Leipzig (February 5, 6:30 p.m.) and VfL Bochum (February 12, 3:30 p.m.) and in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against RB Salzburg (February 16, 9 p.m.) are missing.

With the home game against Greuther Fürth (February 20, 3:30 p.m.) and the away game against Eintracht Frankfurt (February 26, 6:30 p.m.), he should then follow the other tasks of Munich in February as a spectator.

Incidentally, Davies himself quickly spoke up after the diagnosis of heart muscle inflammation and expressed that he could hardly wait for his comeback. “Thanks to everyone who gave me so much love and support. I can’t wait to get back on the field and do what I love,” wrote FCB’s number 19 on social networks.
