This is good news for Canada, as Davies is one of their best players. The hopes of Canada advancing out of the group stage will rest on his shoulders. It remains to be seen if the hamstring injury will limit Davies in any way and there’s always a chance for re-aggravation. However, it seems that the defender is safe from a serious injury for the time being. Canada supporters can breathe a collective sigh of relief.
