Davies is, yes, the one player on this team that is familiar to even the soccer-averse. The superstar left back blew an ACL in March, 2025, while playing for Canada. He worked his way back to fitness, and was playing for his professional club, Bayern Munich, in early May when he injured a hamstring. He’s been in a race to heal since, and Canada has been careful to bring him along slowly. They did not want to risk further injury, especially when they didn’t desperately need him. More time to heal is better.
