After 262 days away from the game he loves, Alphonso Davies stepped back onto the Allianz Arena pitch — a brief but meaningful return that speaks to the long, quiet labour of healing. The Canadian captain, sidelined since March by a torn ligament sustained in service of his country, re-entered competitive football as a substitute in Bayern Munich's Champions League win over Sporting Lisbon. His return is less a conclusion than a threshold: the moment a recovery becomes a resumption, and a player reclaims his place in the ongoing story of the sport.
