Alphonso Davies stopped training with the Bayern team after he was diagnosed with a mild case of heart inflammation.
The Canadian left-back has not played for Bayern since he tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month, and Davies completed routine medical examinations at the club after recovering from a virus that indicated mild myocarditis.
Davies is expected to miss “weeks” of training as his condition is monitored. The news arrives just two weeks before Canada’s World Cup qualifiers.
Nagelsmann said on Friday:
-During our subsequent examination, in which we work with every player who had COVID-19, we discovered signs of mild myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle. He has stopped training, for now, so he will not be available to us in the coming weeks.
He added and reassured Bayern fans:
-This myocarditis is not too dramatic on the basis of ultrasound, but simpler signs of inflammation. However, it needs to heal and it will undoubtedly take time. Nine Bayern Munich players tested positive for COVID-19 in early January, following an absence after a winter break in Germany.
