MUNICH — Canada captain Alphonso Davies has been sidelined after suffering a muscle strain in his left hamstring in Bayern Munich’s 3-0 Champions League loss at Feyenoord on Wednesday.

The German powerhouse said the injury was confirmed by a scan, adding the 24-year-old fullback from Edmonton will be out “for the time being.”

Davies was substituted during first-half injury time.

Asked about Davies’ condition at a news conference Friday ahead of Bayern’s Bundesliga game Saturday at Freiburg, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany did not have much of an update.

“With Phonzie, I’d say let’s wait a little bit. We have the first prognosis But I want to wait,” said Kompany. “We’ll talk about this in one of the upcoming press conferences.”
