Bayern Munich’s star full back has been diagnosed with a life threatening heart condition that has ruled him out of any further practice and matches in terms of football until treated.
After Davies recently recovered from Covid-19, he has had heart muscle inflammation that has caused a lot of concern in the Munich camp. The most recent match Munich played was against Borussia Mochengalbach who seemingly have Munich’s number as they won again with a 2-1 scoreline.
Bayern boss Nagelsmann commented on Davies yesterday saying, “Yesterday, during our follow-up examination that we do with every player that has had Covid-19, we detected signs of mild myocarditis, i.e. an inflammation of the heart muscle.”
“He has stopped training for now, so he won’t be available to us for the next weeks.”
“This myocarditis isn’t too dramatic based on the ultrasound, but more simply signs of an inflammation. Nevertheless, it needs to heal and that will no doubt take some time.”
There hasn’t been a date yet announced or decided as to when Davies will return but in a situation like this, his health should be the top priority above his game. This year, legendary striker Kun Aguero also retired early after a heart condition and post last year’s EURO cup, Christian Eriksen has been treated differently after his mini heart attack like situation.
With Bayern also getting ready for Champions League competition in February, they would want to check Davies’ condition and try to get him back as soon as possible.
