    WHAT HAPPENED? The full-back was substituted 64 minutes into the clash in Berlin on Saturday, which the German giants went on to win 3-2. Davies limped off holding the back of his leg and was replaced by Lucas Hernandez.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Canada international’s latest injury comes just 18 days before the national team play their first match of the World Cup against Belgium.

    IN TWO PHOTOS:

    Davies’ injury on Saturday comes just a month after he was taken off in the clash against Borussia Dortmund…

    He has three weeks to make a recovery.

    WHAT NEXT FOR DAVIES? Bayern Munich have two more matches before the World Cup break, but they may take the safe route with their star full-back and limit his involvement. More information will be available once initial examinations are completed.
