Alphonso Davies included in Canada's World Cup squad despite injury concerns

World Cup co-hosts Canada have named their squad for the upcoming tournament, with Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies the lone Bundesliga representative in the roster.

The 25-year-old has been included despite currently recovering from a muscle injury sustained in May, which brought his season with Bayern to a premature end.

While Davies is not expected to be available for Canada’s World Cup opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 12, he could feature later in the competition if his rehabilitation progresses as planned.

Full Canada squad for the 2026 World Cup:

Goalkeepers: Maxime Crepeau, Owen Goodman, Dayne St. Clair

Defenders: Moise Bombito, Derek Cornelius, Alphonso Davies, Luc de Fougerolles, Alistar Johnston, Alfie Jones, Richie Laryea, Niko Sigur, Joel Waterman

Midfielders: Ali Ahmed, Tajon Buchanan, Mathieu Choiniere, Stephen Eustaquio, Marcelo Flores, Ismael Kone, Liam Millar, Jonathan Osorio, Nathan Saliba, Jacob Shaffelburg

Forwards: Jonathan David, Promise David, Cyle Larin, Tani Oluwaseyi
