Canada's national soccer team is preparing for the World Cup, but captain Alphonso Davies is expected to miss the team's opening match due to injury. Head coach Jesse Marsch indicated that while Davies is recovering from a hamstring injury, he may still participate later in the tournament (AP News).
Coverage of Davies' injury varies among outlets. Yahoo Sports emphasizes the broader context of Canada's aspirations for a historic World Cup win, while The Globe and Mail focuses more on the implications of Davies' absence for the team's immediate performance.
