The German side are considering court action over Canada’s perceived negligence after the star suffered a serious knee injury while on international duty.
The 23-year-old sustained the injury during Canada’s 2-1 victory over the United States and was forced off in the first half. Initially, Canada played down the severity of the issue and allowed Davies to board a flight back to Munich on Monday.
However, upon his return to Germany, the left-back continued to experience discomfort. A thorough examination by Bayern’s medical team, followed by an MRI scan at Säbener Strasse, confirmed a cruciate ligament tear in his right knee.

Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen did not hold back in his criticism of the Canadian national team, accusing them of failing in their duty of care.
"We demand a full explanation from Canada Soccer and expressly reserve the right to take legal action," Dreesen told Bild.
"Sending an obviously injured player with a bruised knee on a twelve-hour intercontinental flight without proper medical assessment is, in our view, grossly negligent and a clear breach of medical due diligence.
"Furthermore, Davies was already experiencing muscular discomfort before the match, yet he was still played in a game of no real significance. Given that Canada is already qualified to co-host the 2026 World Cup, risking the health of a key player like him is simply incomprehensible.
“‘Phonzy’ is not to blame—he’s the captain, he wanted to take responsibility. But it was the duty of the medical staff to protect him."
The Bavarians are set to receive compensation from FIFA over the injury, as it happened on international duty.
Canada Soccer defend their medical team
In response, Canada Soccer issued a statement via The Athletic, defending their handling of the situation.
"Canada Soccer's coaches and experienced medical staff are true professionals and have always prioritised player safety and wellbeing. Anything suggesting otherwise is untrue," the statement read.
Davies’ agent, Nedal Huoseh, also criticised Canada Soccer, insisting his client should never have been on the pitch.
