Alphonso Davies will miss Canada's game against Guatemala on Monday due to a lower-body injury sustained in Friday's reverse fixture between the sides.

A Canada Soccer spokesperson told The Canadian Press that Davies would travel with the rest of the squad to Toronto on Saturday for further assessment before returning to Munich on Sunday.

Davies went down in the fifth minute of Canada's 3-2 win over Guatemala. After slipping, he got back to his feet and attempted to block a shot before signalling to the bench that he couldn't continue.

According to Bild and Kicker, Bayern Munich fear the injury could be a recurrence of a muscle problem for the injury-plagued Canada captain.
