The Bayern Munich star&rsquo;s agent blamed the Canadian federation and Jesse Marsch for forcing Davies to play for Canada against the United States in the CONCACAF Nations League. <\/p><p>Now, Canada Soccer has denied the allegations made by Alphonso Davies&rsquo; agent following the incident, rejecting claims that the national team was at fault for the incident. Alphonso Davies started the 3rd-4th place match against USA. But he was forced off just 12 minutes into the match due to the knee injury. Although he was later seen walking on his own, medical scans revealed a torn ligament in his right knee.<\/p><p>Bayern Munich confirmed the news on their official website, stating that Davies had sustained the injury while on international duty with Canada. The club announced that the defender would undergo surgery immediately and is expected to be sidelined for around six months, effectively ruling him out for the rest of the season.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Alphonso Davies has suffered an ACL tear.<br><br>Get well soon, Phonzy!
