Tournament co-hosts Canada will face Bafana Bafana on Sunday at 9pm at Los Angeles Stadium in Los Angeles, with both teams battling for a place in the Round of 16.

Davies has yet to feature at the tournament, having missed all three of Canada’s group-stage matches. Although he was named on the bench for each game, the Bayern Munich captain has been recovering from a left hamstring strain sustained towards the end of last season.

Marsch has now revealed that Davies is expected to be available for selection against Hugo Broos’ side, handing Canada a significant boost after being without one of their most influential players throughout the group stage.
