After being at the center of a storm of 12 players who were on the pitch against Freiburg last weekend, Bayern Munich will host tomorrow (Wednesday) in Spain, for the first game in the Champions League quarter-final stage against Villarreal. The Germans, who come to the game after they trampled Salzburg 1: 7 in the rematch in the quarterfinals, received great news today, in the form of the return of Alfonso Davis adapt.
As you may recall, the Canadian defender has not played since mid-December due to myocarditis, when at the time it was said he would be out for an indefinite period. “The news about the problems in my heart was very bad, but the medical department at Bayern is excellent. Not being with teammates, with the team, it was annoying, but I knew health was first and foremost,” Davis said.
Not only is Davis returning to the squad, he may even return directly to the squad, after nearly four months without a game. “Davis will come with us to the game. His last tests have gone so well that he will even be able to start, but we will decide on that during the day. Basically, I am thinking of starting with him,” said Bayern coach Julian Naglesman.
“Villarreal do not have the pressure on us,” Naglesman said.
Villarreal have lost their last two games in the Spanish league and are already in seventh place, far from the place that guarantees a ticket to the Champions League next season when the sixth place is also six points away, so there is no small chance that the yellow submarine will not play in Europe next season. Unbelievable and win the Champions League.
