Canada Soccer gave his approval and Davies took a plane to Munich, where medical exams diagnosed the rupture of the cross ligaments of the right knee.
“We want to clarify how it happened. Take the plane, 12 hours of flight, we assume that it is not a big deal, which is a blow. And then this comes out (the diagnosis). It is not professional, it is not right, we must speak it and we must clarify the situation,” added sports director Christoph Freund, at a press conference this Friday.
They do not blame the player

“He is the captain, wants to assume his responsibilities. The way this was handled is not correct. It was limit and negligent. We are the employers and we also pay the players, so we are going to investigate,” Freund said.
