GUATEMALA CITY – Canadian left back Alphonso Davies left Friday’s game against Guatemala early in the first half due to an injury.
Davies appeared to slip on the grass inside the 18-yard box as Guatemala threatened in the fifth minute of the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal opener.
The Canadian captain got back to his feet and attempted to block Darwin Lom’s shot before immediately waving to the bench.
A grim-faced Davies, who missed most of the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to a hamstring injury, did not have a limp as he walked off the pitch at Estadio El Trebol without assistance.
It wasn’t clear whether it was an upper-body or lower-body injury. A message left with Canada Soccer wasn’t immediately returned.
Head coach Jesse Marsch was scheduled to hold a media availability later Friday night.
Davies, a star at Bayern Munich, missed three friendly matches this fall while on his honeymoon. On Tuesday, Marsch said that Davies looked impressive in training and was at 100 per cent.
Canada took a 3-0 lead into the halftime break. The teams will play the second leg on Monday night in Toronto.
