Alphonso Davies set to return for Canada against South Africa in World Cup last 32

Alphonso Davies has confirmed he expects to play when Canada face South Africa in their last-32 World Cup match in Los Angeles on Sunday. Canada arrive having lost their final group game against Switzerland, a defeat that sent them into the knockout round as a result. Davies's return comes at a critical moment for Jesse Marsch's side. Canada's chances in the knockout stage hinge heavily on whether Davies, their most influential player, is fit enough to perform after his absence through the group stage.
