The 25-year-old is unlikely to play again for Bayern this season and could face a race against time to be ready for the start of the World Cup.

Canada captain Alphonso Davies has suffered a hamstring injury that will sideline him for “several weeks", Bayern Munich said on Friday, potentially disrupting his World Cup preparations.

Davies was injured in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against holders Paris Saint-Germain, who beat Bayern 6-5 on aggregate.

The 25-year-old is unlikely to play again for Bayern this season and could face a race against time to be ready for the start of the World Cup. Co-hosts Canada play Bosnia and Herzegovina in their opening match on June 12 in Toronto.

It is the latest setback for Davies, who has suffered a series of muscle injuries after returning from an eight-month layoff with an ACL tear in October.

Already crowned league champions, Bayern travel to Wolfsburg on Saturday and then host Cologne on the final weekend of the Bundesliga season. Vincent Kompany’s side take on Stuttgart in the German Cup final a week later on May 23.

Bournemouth drop Jimenez

Bournemouth have dropped Alex Jimenez from their squad and launched an investigation into the alleged social media conduct of the defender.

The Premier League club confirmed on Friday that Jimenez would not be part of the group for Saturday’s trip to Fulham.

“AFC Bournemouth are aware of posts circulating on social media involving right-back Alex Jimenez," a club statement read.

“The club understand the seriousness of the matter and it is currently being investigated.

“As a result, Alex will not be included in the squad for tomorrow’s Premier League game against Fulham and the club will be making no further comment at this time."

Spaniard Jimenez, who turned 21 on Friday, has made 32 appearances for Bournemouth this season after a loan switch from AC Milan.

The move to the Vitality Stadium was made permanent in February.

Bournemouth are sixth in the Premier League, battling to qualify for Europe for the first time in the club’s history.
