Captain Alphonso Davies will likely miss Canada’s first game of the FIFA World Cup as he works his way back from a hamstring injury, head coach Jesse Marsch told reporters Monday. Marsch said he expects Davies to play in the tournament, but he likely won’t be ready for the opener against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Toronto on June 12.
