Canadian star Alphonso Davies’ first start since a knee injury lasted just 14 minutes Saturday (March 9) when he took a boot to the face in Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga game against Mainz.
Davies was clipped in the face by Swiss defender Silvan Widmer’s boot as they came together in a challenge for a high ball near midfield. There was no foul on the play as Widmer’s boot came up as he lost balance after going for the ball.
