Shock for Bavaria: Davies suffered cruciate ligament tear - Association defends itself!

Innsbruck, Österreich - Alphonso Davies, the talented player of FC Bayern Munich, suffered a cruciate ligament tear in the international match between Canada and the USA. This was done as part of the Concacaf Nation League when Davies failed in the 12th minute of the game. This injury is expected to put him out of action for at least six months, which means the end of his season including the Champions League and the club World Cup, as br reported.

The news about the serious injury came as a surprise to many. His advisor Nedal Househ said that Davies did not feel ready to use before he was sent to the field. National coach Jesse Marsch, however, relied on trust in the player. The Canadian association countered these allegations and explained that Davies felt fit enough and had been properly informed about his operational readiness. Media director Paulo Senra also made it clear that the security and well -being of the players are always a top priority.

operational intervention and further failure of teammates

A few hours after the incident, Davies was successfully operated on in Innsbruck. The forecast downtime could extend to up to eight months, which is a significant challenge for Bayern and the Canadian national team. His team -mate Dayot Upamecano also suffered an injury and will be missing at least three months after he found cartilage damage in the knee.

In addition to Davies and Upamecano's failures, Bayern are plagued further injuries. Manuel Neuer will fail due to a calf injury in the first Bundesliga games after the international break and possibly also in the Champions League first leg against Inter Milan. His representative, Jonas Urbig, was also struck.

injury risks in football

The high number of injuries in football is a widespread problem. Around 7 million footballers in Germany are active in the club, with injuries often affect the lower extremities. Statistics show that 27% of the injuries are the knee joint, followed by ankle injuries with more than 18%. Cruciate ligament cracks make up about 11% of the injuries, which underlines the urgency of preventive measures that are necessary to minimize the risk of such injuries.

Programs for injury prevention such as "FIFA 11+" reduce the risk and severity of injuries to the lower extremities. Such programs combine football-specific running exercises with strength, plyometry and balance exercises and are crucial for the safety of the players.
