With three days to go until Canada’s World Cup opener, star fullback Alphonso Davies has yet to participate in full training for manager Jesse Marsch’s side and uncertain to play in Friday’s clash against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto.

Multiple reports showed Davies, 25, continuing to train apart from the full group on Tuesday as Canada prepares for its Group B opener.

Its latter two group matches will come on June 18 and 24 in Vancouver, B.C., where Davies turned pro as a prodigious teenager with the Vancouver Whitecaps before moving on to Bayern Munich for a then-MLS-record fee of $13.5 million after the 2018 season.

Davies has been out since he suffered a left hamstring injury in Leg 2 of his club’s UEFA Champions League semifinal against Paris St. Germain.

That was the latest in a string of injury issues that began with an ACL tear suffered while playing for Canada against the United States in a CONCACAF Nations League third-place match in March 2025.

“I think one of the biggest challenges Alphonso is going through right now is just trusting his body,” Marsch said in an interview with “Men In Blazers” media published over the weekend. “As soon as he gets himself going, he starts to experience a new injury. And you can imagine how frustrating that is for a young man that plays at a high level and believes in himself, and in a moment when he wants to represent the country as a captain in all the right ways.”

Concerns over Davies’ fitness have been compounded by Moise Bombito’s thigh injury, an ailment that could rule out the influential center back for the tournament’s entirety.

Marsch’s squad already made another injury replacement earlier Tuesday, calling in midfielder Jayden Nelson to fill the spot of Marcelo Flores, who suffered an ACL tear playing for UNAL Tigres in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final on May 30.

Canada’s World Cup expectations were heightened by a fourth-place finish in the 2024 Copa America, the best performance of the six CONCACAF guest sides.

Davies played in all six of those matches, starting five, while Bombito played every minute.

But Davies made only 23 appearances across all competitions for Bayern this season (eight starts), and hasn’t suited up for Canada since his March 2025 ACL tear.

Without him, Canada lost on penalties to Guatemala in the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals following a 1-1 draw.

“We’re motivated to get him healthy,” Marsch said. “We’re motivated to give him a chance to play in this tournament. We’re doing everything we can to work with our medical team and Alphonso is, too. And then in the meantime, the team feels (his) energy. The team feels having him back in the group is a different feeling than it was without him.”

Serena Williams successfully launched her comeback Tuesday with a doubles upset during the HSBC Championships at the Queen’s Club in West Kensington, London.

Ending a nearly four-year retirement, the 44-year-old Williams partnered with 19-year-old Victoria Mboko of Canada for a 7-6 (2), 6-2 win against No. 3 seed Nicole Melihar-Martinez and New Zealand’s Erin Routliffe.

Routliffe is a two-time U.S. Open doubles champion (2023, 2025) and Melihar-Martinez was a doubles finalist at Wimbledon in 2018 and the U.S. Open in 2020.

“I was having so much fun playing with Vicky,” Williams said in a post-match on-court interview. “She was really able to hold up the team and play big on the big points. I could really rely on her. We never played together but it just felt so natural playing with her.”

Williams’ first-round victory at the WTA 500 grass-court tournament was the 23-time Grand Slam winner’s first professional match since a tearful farewell at the 2022 U.S. Open.

Williams, who received a wild-card entry into the tournament, and Mboko advanced to the quarterfinals. They will face the winner between Canada’s Leylah Fernandez and Germany’s Laura Siegemund vs. Russia’s Alexandra Panova and the Netherlands’ Demi Schuurs.

Williams was asked what her tennis schedule might look like down the road and why she picked the HSBC Championship for a doubles return.

“I don’t know … I had nothing better to do,” Williams said, drawing laughs from fans. “I got tired sitting at home. My kids are out of school for the summer so why not.”
