Teen star Alphonso Davies questionable for Whitecaps-Sounders match
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps could be without their teenage phenom when they battle their West Coast rivals in a key contest.
Midfielder Alphonso Davies didn’t participate in training Friday. The club said the 17-year-old MLS all-star was away with the team’s permission and that his status for Saturday’s game against the Seattle Sounders is “unknown.”
No explanation was given for his absence on Friday.
Davies has three goals and eight assists this season, and the Whitecaps (7-8-5) likely would miss him in what figures to be a hotly contested match.
