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, Maxime Crépeau, goalkeeper of Los Angeles FC, joined him.

Maxime Crépeau suffered a frightening 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 taken off 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.

Although the goalkeeper had the worst during the match, 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 they were down 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

Bayern Munich left-back and Canadian national team star Alphonso Davies suffered a ruptured nerve during the match against Hertha Berlin, weeks before the start of the Qatqar World Cup.

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 broken fibers”, although he specified 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 who arrives in Qatar with aspirations of becoming one of the revelations of the phase of groups.
