Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies Diagnosed With Mild Myocarditis

The Canada international full-back will not be considered for first-team duty over the coming weeks due to heart muscle inflammation.

Alphonso Davies has seen an immediate return to action at Bayern Munich ruled out, with the Bundesliga giants detecting signs of heart muscle inflammation in a player that has recently recovered from Covid-19.

The Canada international defender sat out a first outing of 2022 for the reigning German champions after posting a positive test result for coronavirus.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side suffered a 2-1 defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach in his absence, and the talented 21-year-old will not come back into contention any time soon after picking up another health problem.
