This is a huge loss to Canada and our World Cup qualifying aspirations. Hopefully it's temporary, but he is so young.

Alphonso Davies sidelined with 'mild' myocarditis after COVID-19 infection

Myocarditis is a mild, temporary condition in the vast majority of cases, according to experts. However, the timing of the diagnosis casts a shadow of doubt over his participation in Canada's World Cup qualifiers later this month.

MUNICH — Alphonso Davies’ return from a bout of COVID-19 has been put on hold with Bayern Munich saying the Canadian star shows signs of an inflammation of the heart muscle.
The 21-year-old from Edmonton has been sidelined, with his participation in doubt for Canada’s World Cup qualifiers later this month.

Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann told a pre-match news conference Friday that the problem was detected in the follow-up examination that all players who have had COVID undergo.

“He’ll sit out training until further notice. He won’t be available, also in the coming weeks,” Nagelsmann said in German.
“The ultrasound shows this myocarditis isn’t so dramatic but it’s a sign of myocarditis. Still, it has to heal and that will definitely take some time,” he added.

Myocarditis is a mild, temporary condition in the vast majority of cases, according to experts.
