The Canadian soccer federation has defended its handling of star player Alphonso Davies after his club Bayern Munich threatened to take legal action in the aftermath of his serious injury suffered during the Concacaf Nations League finals last week.

Davies tore his anterior cruciate ligament and sustained other damage in his right knee during Canada's 2-1 win over the United States in the third-place decider for the Nations League tournament on Sunday.

Davies returned to Munich where the full extent of the injury was determined on Wednesday. The left-back underwent surgery and "will be out for several months," Bayern said.

The club has alleged that Canadian officials did not provide appropriate care for the player.

However, Canada Soccer responded to Bayern on Friday, saying it had reached out to "address any misunderstandings."

"Medical documentation confirms that proper care protocols were followed, and communication records show that our medical staff provided updates to Bayern Munich throughout the entire tournament," Canada Soccer said in a statement reported by Canadian media.
