Alphonso Davis could return to the playing 11 when Canada face Morocco on Saturday in the last 16.
He missed the first group game due to injury and was on the bench for the second and third games. He came off the bench for the last 32 match against South Africa.
He suffered a hamstring injury in Bayern Munich's Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain last month. He suffered another injury shortly after returning from an eight-month layoff after suffering an ACL injury in October.
He mainly plays as a left fullback. But his pace, dribbling, crossing ability, and ability to play as a wingback, left midfield and beautiful crosses have made him a big hope for Canada, which is why the team's American coach Jesse Marsh kept the 25-year-old Davis in the World Cup squad despite his injury.
He made his debut for the Canadian national team in 2019, and has since scored 15 goals in 59 appearances. Davis also played in the 2022 World Cup, scoring against Croatia, which was Canada's first goal in World Cup history.
