Won't start vs. Switzerland
Davies won't be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's match against Switzerland, according to manager Jesse Marsch. "[Alphonso] Davies won't start against Switzerland, but he's available."
Analysis: Davies has yet to log a single minute for Canada in the current World Cup, but he could make his debut in this group-stage finale. The left-back wasn't an option for the draw against Bosnia and was an unused sub in the 6-0 blowout win over Qatar. Expect the Bayern Munich left-back to see minutes if he's absolutely needed Wednesday.
Close to 100 percent
Davies is nearing 100 percent fitness and is continuing to train, according to manager Jesse Marsch, per Joshua Kloke of The Athletic. "We'll put him through a good training regimen this week and then evaluate how he fits in for Switzerland, but he's getting closer and closer to 100 percent, that's for sure."
Analysis: Davies was back on the team sheet last contest but didn't appear for a minute, appearing to be saved as they beat Qatar easily. That said, he continues to train and recover, as he is now nearing full fitness after the time out. He will now look to play a major role as they try to take down Switzerland and top the group, although they may be cautious with the knockout stage play already secured.
