Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davis picked up an injury in their 3-1 loss against Mainz as they failed to go top of the league table.

Mainz were handed the three points on a platter after a second-half performance that gave the home side the win against Bayern Munich. The loss leaves Bayern in a bad position as they drop to second position on the league table. 

During the game, Bayern were dealt a huge blow as Alphonso Davis was substituted in the ninth minute of the game due to a hamstring injury.

Davis injured 

Bayern Munich has confirmed that the Canadian defender won't be available for a few days after suffering a hamstring injury against Mainz.

Davies has helped the Bavarians this season by providing six assists in all competitions. Although his performance has fallen a little in recent weeks, he still contributes greatly to Bayern at both ends of the field. 

Joao Cancelo will be required to play in Davis' position. Throughout the previous few seasons, the Portuguese full-back has frequently filled this role for Manchester City. He came in against Mainz as a substitute and assisted Bayern's only goal.

Bayern have other replacements

Bayern also have other players who can replace Davis in the left-back position. The likes of Noussair Mazraoui can also play in that position.

Apart from Davies, Noussair Mazraoui can also play in the left-back position. Frustrated by his lack of possibilities, the former Ajax full-back may have an opportunity to win Tuchel over in the following six league contests.

Hertha Berlin will visit Bayern on Sunday. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is also a question mark for this game, in addition to Davies. Lucas Hernandez and Manuel Neuer are also out of the season.
