‘I’ll be on the bench, not sure if I’ll get minutes’ — Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies confirms status
It is almost time for Canadian star Alphonso Davies to make his much-anticipated return from ACL surgery.
After an arduous rehab, Davies confirmed in an interview that he will be on the bench for the Champions League match against Sporting CP, but does not know exactly how much time — if any — he will get.
“I’m happy that I’m back now and the leg is holding up good. I’ll be on the bench, not sure if I’ll get minutes, that’s up to the coach,” Davies told former Seattle Seahawks tight end turned media personality Luke Willson (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
As it stands, Josip Stanišić is expected to get the start at left-back and play the majority of the match. If the Bavarians have a big lead (think two goals or more), it would not be shocking to see Davies get a token five minutes or so at the end of the match.
