Still in return to play process
Davies (hamstring) remains in the return to play process while the rest of the Canada squad has moved to full training, three days out from Thursday's clash against Qatar, according to Joshua Kloke from The Athletic.
Analysis: Davies missed the opening group stage fixture against Bosnia and Herzegovina and continues to work his way back from the hamstring issue, with his availability for Thursday's match still uncertain. The Bayern Munich left-back had been described as almost completely healed following an MRI scan, giving some hope of a return during the group stage. Richie Laryea has been covering at left-back in his absence, but getting Davies back on the pitch would represent a significant boost for a Canadian side that relies heavily on his pace and attacking output down the left flank.
Sidelined despite positive update
Davies' (hamstring) injury is believed to be "almost completely" healed following an MRI scan, but he won't be an option Friday versus Bosnia-Herzegovina, according to coach Jesse Marsch, per Claire Hanna of TSN Sports.
Analysis: Davies remains hopeful to appear in the second or third group-stage clash, although the first game apparently comes too soon for him. The wide player is coming off a solid campaign with Bayern, and his absence means a significant blow for the Canadian squad. His place in the starting lineup will likely be taken by a slightly more defensive-minded Richie Laryea in the kickoff match.
