Bayern Munich criticizes Canada for handling of Alphonso Davies injury, threatens lawsuit

March 28 (UPI) -- Bayern Munich criticized Canada on Friday for its management of defender Alphonso Davies, who sustained a season-ending torn ACL while playing for the national team. The German soccer club also threatened legal action.

Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund addressed the issue while speaking alongside coach Vincent Kompany in Munich. Chief executive Jan-Christian Dressen told the German newspaper Bild that the club is "demanding a full investigation" into the matter.

"We're demanding a full investigation into the events from Canada Soccer and expressly reserve the right to take legal action," Dreesen said.
