Fully vaccinated, but they are blaming it on Covid

Alphonso Davies' return from a bout of COVID-19 has been put on hold, with his Bundisliga team saying the Canadian soccer star shows signs of an inflammation of the heart muscle.

The 21-year-old from Edmonton, who also plays for Bayern Munich in the German league, has been sidelined, with his participation in doubt for Canada's World Cup qualifiers later this month.

Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann told a pre-match news conference Friday that the problem was detected in the follow-up examination that all players who have had COVID undergo.
