Soccer’s governing body in Canada says its men’s national team medical staff remain in close communication with Bayern Munich regarding star Alphonso Davies after he suffered a torn muscle fibre in his right hamstring.

Canada Soccer said a decision on his availability for the March international window has not been made.

“Our Men’s National Team’s medical staff continues to be in close communication with FC Bayern München’s medical staff concerning Alphonso Davies. A determination on his availability for the upcoming March international window has not yet been made. In the coming weeks, we will announce the full team roster,” Canada Soccer said in a statement.

Bayern Munich confirmed Davies was injured in Saturday’s 3-2 Bundesliga win over Eintracht Frankfurt. The German club said the Canadian international will be sidelined “for the time being.”

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany suggested Saturday the absence could be two to four weeks.

Davies missed nearly nine months with a serious knee injury sustained while playing for Canada last March.

Canada is set to host Iceland on March 28 and Tunisia on March 31 during the upcoming international window at Toronto’s BMO Field. 

Canada is also co-hosting this summer’s World Cup. The men have a yet-to-be-determined opponent for June 12 in Toronto, but will play Qatar on June 18 and Switzerland on June 24, both in Vancouver, in the group stage.
