EJsens1 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 19 minutes ago, Kadenge said: As much as I would like to see Davies with us for the next window, I think it's best if he stays with Bayern. Let them closely monitor him as he works his way back to full match fitness and is able to go a full 90. His complete and total recovery is much more important Yeah I hear ya. We all have a different point of view. If he were to be cleared as 100% healthy, I’m from the school that you should be allowed to play. I get being cautionary but that’s how I see it. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobasew19 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 As per the man himself (via his twitch stream), he has another appointment on Friday. Hoping for good news! dyslexic nam and Sal333 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyb Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I say let Phonzie make the call. If he's healthy and cleared, he'll want to be on the pitch when we make it official. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOCanada115 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 He will start training now. Probably wishful thinking, but 2 weeks until that Jamaica game. Depends how he is feeling. Maybe be available off the bench? All depends on what Bayern want to do. They might insist he says with the team for monitoring. narduch and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod818 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) I think a 10-15 minute stint of the bench against a Jamaica celebration game would be a good training regimen..don’t you?? he could just run back and forth a few times and not touch the ball for all I care Edited March 14, 2022 by pod818 narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's incredibly wishful thinking, but not impossible. I think everyone is going to be careful with Davies, including Canada. I imagine like any return from injury they will start slow and gradually build him up. Has he even started team training yet? Re-injury is a thing and I imagine the same is true with the heart. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he wasn't coming back from injury/illness (and with the coaching staff taking a careful approach to getting him back into match fitness), he hasn't played at all this year so far. He wont be match fit in 10 days. Edited March 14, 2022 by LeoH037 Unnamed Trialist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is will Bayern let him go All the flying, Germany to Canada, then back and forth to Central America, then back to Germany so that he can be here for cheerleading. No chance Bayern would be happy with that, he needs to stay with Bayern where he can continue to receive the very best medical and training supervision. johnyb, JamboAl, An Observer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still unsure how long that'll take, and pretty sure they want to have him fully fit by the time the UCL quarter comes around.

I agree with these points, but the player does have a say in these matters as well. And this may be the single biggest celebration in Canadian soccer in 35 years, Phonzie may really want to be there.

For example, when Mo Salah and Sadio Mane have been up for the African Player of the Year award, he's allowed them to travel for the ceremonies, even though they missed training, and once, Salah even missed a first-team match. If Bayern really want to look after one of their most valuable assets, they should at least consider how they could accommodate Phonz's undoubted desire to be part of the prospective celebration of his country's return to the World Cup after nearly 40 years. pod818 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a health question. There is no personal interest in flying around for a party when it'd ruin 2 weeks training, which has to be monitored. He was allowed to visit Paris, his father went over to be with him. Let's not make silly comparisons with 2 days travel by a healthy player for an awards ceremony.

I could easily seeing Phonzie coming into Toronto for the match vs. Jamaica to celebrate with the boys. I mean Herman could symbolically name him to the roster anyways. He did name a bunch of injured players in the past for whatever reason. RocketWheeler and EdmPhonzieFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not fussed either way, but with the kickoff time and the fact that Europe hasn't changed their clocks yet, a not unrealistic option exists for Davies to fly to/from Toronto for the Jamaica game and only miss a single day of training at Bayern.
