Canada, Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies suffers 'cranial bruise'

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund drew 2-2 on Saturday, with Canadian sensation Alphonso Davies receiving a boot to the face that left him with a "cranial bruise".

According to Bayern Munich, the Edmonton native 21-year-old Alphonso Davies, was "feeling fine in the circumstances" but skipped training on Sunday. There was no indication of arrival date for him.

Meanwhile, Davies posted a quick video to Instagram. With a smile, Davies, sporting a hoodie, added, "I want to say thank you, everyone, for the beautiful words, and I'm looking forward to being back on the pitch soon.


The club claimed that medical scans showed the bruising. After the game, Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann mentioned a possible concussion.



At Signal Iduna Park, Davies was injured in the 45th minute while tackling Dortmund's Jude Bellingham for the ball. The English midfielder kicked the ball with his right foot into the air while shielding it from Davies with his body to veer away from the Bayern fullback.

Bellingham's boot made contact with Davies' face rather than the ball because Davies got his head to the ball first. Then Davies collapsed to the ground while grabbing his face. On the verge of halftime, he got care and appeared unstable as he was assisted off the field. He did not observe any more activity.
