In less than 24 hours, Canada received two bad news regarding his participation in Qatar 2022. First was the injury to Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies. Later, he was joined by Los Angeles FC goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau.

Maxime Crépeau suffered a horrible injury during the duel between his team and the Philadelphia Union for the definition of the title of the MLS. The goalkeeper, an international with Canada, had to be removed from the field after colliding spectacularly with striker Cory Burke when he came off to cut off his progress in the box. It turned out that the Canadian would have to deal with a possible tibia and fibula fracture. If this first diagnosis is confirmed, the goalkeeper would say goodbye to the World Cup.

Despite the fact that the goalkeeper took the worst part in the clash, the match referee showed him the red card. During his transfer off the field, on a stretcher, the goalkeeper tried to encourage his teammates.

Although down by one man, Los Angeles FC managed to win the MLS title.

The exact moment of the Canadian goalkeeper’s injury

Canada and the case of Alphonso Davies

Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich left-back and big star for the Canadian team, suffered a fibrillary tear during the match against Hertha Berlin, a few weeks before the start of the World Cup in Qatar.

Julian Nagelsmann, coach of the Bavarian team, explained that Davies, who had to be replaced in the 64th minute, “according to the doctors, after the first examination he has a fiber rupture”, although he has clarified that “it will be necessary to wait for the following tests”.

Davies is the main reference of the Canadian team which, after winning the qualifying phase of Concacaf, obtained the ticket for the World Cup. His only participation in the great universal tournament dates back to Mexico’86, a tournament in which he lost all three games, without a goal scored and five conceded, but he arrives in Qatar with aspirations of becoming one of the revelations of the phase of groups.
