– It has been a difficult year for the defender after he missed the majority of last season after contracting COVID-19 during the Bundesliga’s winter break.
– The 21-year-old returned to action for Bayern in April and last month told that he didn’t know if he could play again.
– “That was very scary, especially [because] the doctors are saying that they don’t know how long I was supposed to be out,” Davies said. “I think that was the most scariest part.
– “At that time I had doubts in my head, whether I’m still going to be able to play football, but everything worked out at the end. I’m happy and I’m grateful for the doctor taking such good care of me.
– “I’m happy that I can be back on the pitch.”
– Canada begins its World Cup campaign against Belgium on Nov. 23.
