"I'm working closely with the medical department and the rehab staff. it's a mild, temporary condition in the vast majority of cases, according to experts.

“We”, meaning us, might soon see this superstar adorned in Canadian red, in the World Cup. Those heart problems were also enough to keep Davies on the sideline for Canada’s (-316) climactic qualifying match with Jamaica on Sunday. Unless they paid for tickets, the Canadian men, of course, hadn’t been to the great tournament as competitors in 36 years. Davies would have to watch his teammates in tenuous nervousness, in the comfort of his home, hoping they could pull off history without him.

😭— Tim and Friends (@timandfriends) @AlphonsoDavieswas brought to tears after watching Canada qualify for the World Cup. #CANMNT #WCQ #ForCanada And to say that the 21-year-old had an emotional response to the moment that Canada’s qualification would be confirmed would be the mother of all understatements. Arguably the best left-back in world football, the Bayern Munich star has been instrumental on the way to Canada’s historic achievement, but wasn’t able to take to the pitch in the game that wrapped it all up. Playing on home soil in wintery conditions, the wheels were set in motion for Canada to end their 36-year wait to compete at the highest level of the international game when Cyle Larin scored after just 13 minutes. And now, they have rounded off their qualification journey to reach the World Cup finals for only the second time in their history by securing a 4-0 win over Jamaica on Thursday night. The Canadians had embarked on a stunning run to the top of the Concacaf table, overcoming the United States of America and Mexico with a record of eight wins, four draws and just one defeat.
