Davies to join CanMNT camp following Japan friendly

Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies is expected to join the Canada camp in Qatar for the World Cup following the team's friendly on Thursday with Japan, TSN's Matt Scianitti notes.

The CanMNT's opening match of Group C action comes on Nov. 23 against Belgium. Croatia and Morocco are Canada's two other opponents in the group.

You can watch every game of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, starting this Sunday, LIVE on TSN, TSN.ca and the TSN App.

Davies, 22, heads into the World Cup coming off a hamstring strain that forced him out of Bayern's 3-2 victory over Hertha on Nov. 6. He did not participate in Bayern's final two matches ahead of the World Cup break.

Davies has made 19 appearances across all competitions for the Bundesliga champions thus far this season.
