  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Despite the full-back's efforts to play on after Silvan Widmer's boot connected with his face in an aerial duel, he had to be substituted just 16 minutes into the Bundesliga game on Saturday and ended up being rushed to the dentist. The Canada star took to social media to show off the damage, confirming Thomas Tuchel's claim that he "had a few teeth crooked" after the incident.

  WHAT NEXT FOR DAVIES AND BAYERN?

  While his long-term fitness may not be an issue, his future certainly is for Bayern. The Munich club are attempting to persuade the 23-year-old to sign a new contract, but are reportedly refusing to meet his salary demands. The standoff appears to have opened the door for Real Madrid to swoop in and sign him in the summer transfer window.
