Alphonso Davies, the Bayern Munich defender and Canadian national team captain, has been banned from driving for one month after being found driving under the influence of alcohol.

Davies, 24, was stopped by police in Munich in the early hours of Thursday morning and registered a positive result when asked by officers to take a breathalyzer test. He was not arrested and a friend then drove the car home.

A source with understanding of the situation, who wasn’t authorised to speak publicly on the matter, told The Athletic Davies registered an output of 0.6 grams of alcohol per litre. The legal limit in Germany is 0.5 grams with 0.8 grams the bar for a criminal offence to have taken place.

He has had his license to drive removed for a month and also been imposed with a fine and two demerit points.

Bayern declined to comment when approached by The Athletic but are not expected to take any further action.

He trained as normal on Thursday and should feature when Bayern travel to rivals Borussia Dortmund for Der Klassiker in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Davies has made 17 appearances in all competitions for the German club this season. He is yet to score but has added three assists.

He has also played three times for the CANMNT but was withdrawn from the squad for the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals with Suriname in November as a “precautionary measure due to physical fatigue.”

In his absence Canada advanced 4-0 on aggregate and will meet Mexico in the competition’s semifinals in March.
