Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies remains an injury doubt for Canada‘s World Cup opener against Belgium on Wednesday as he continues his recovery from a hamstring strain suffered earlier this month.
Canada coach John Herdman said Davies was “still building toward top speed. But he hasn’t hit that top speed yet.”

“When you have hamstring injuries, there’s always the key moment,” Herdman said Saturday. “That’s when the hamstring is pushed, pushed to its limits.
“We’ve got to get this one right because it could be a long tournament for Canada. And that’s the last thing I want is for Alphonso to miss this.”
