With both Davies and Upamecano out, Bayern's defensive options are limited, and they may rely on Eric Dier and Min-jae Kim as substitutes.

Upamecano, who has been a strong performer this season, is currently in negotiations for a contract extension set to expire in 2026.

Kompany's decisions in the coming weeks will be crucial for Bayern's aspirations to compete for titles amidst the current player shortages.

Davies recently extended his contract with Bayern until 2030, making his injury particularly disappointing for the club and its fans.

FC Bayern Munich faces a significant challenge as key defenders Alphonso Davies and Dayot Upamecano will miss the remainder of the season due to injuries.

Davies suffered a torn ACL while playing for the Canadian national team, which required surgery and has an expected recovery time of around six months.

The injury was diagnosed as loose bodies in his left knee, according to the club's announcement.

Despite being deemed fit to start against the USA, Davies was substituted after just 12 minutes due to pain, raising questions about the decision to play him.

Davies' agent claims that the Canadian coaching staff pressured him to play, despite his previous injury concerns.

Statistics show Bayern performs significantly better with Davies on the field, scoring more goals and conceding fewer.

Potential replacements for Davies include Hiroki Ito and Raphaël Guerreiro, although they lack the same speed and offensive support as Davies.

Bayern Munich still has significant goals to achieve this season, including competing for the Bundesliga title and the Champions League.
