Alphonso Davies' leg injury does not appear to be severe, offering a glimmer of hope for his possible return in Canada’s third-place game at the Copa America. Canada’s coach, Jesse Marsch, indicated that an X-ray came back negative.

Davies limped off in the 71st minute during Canada’s 2-0 semifinal loss to Argentina after his right leg was caught in a clean challenge. 'Whether he'll be available for Saturday night it's too early to say,' Marsch commented on Wednesday.

Canada, set to play either Uruguay or Colombia on Saturday in Charlotte, North Carolina, continues to make significant progress. Marsch highlighted the need for improvement in scoring, noting 14 'big chances missed' during the team's first five tournament games. Despite the setbacks, Marsch remains optimistic about the team's future. Davies, who plays for Bayern Munich, serves as both left-back and winger and is the captain of the Canadian national team.
