Alphonso Davies only made his international debut on Friday evening, the left-back will be taking his Canadians to a friendly in Qatar.

Given his key role in the team, the 21-year-old could be the only Bayern defensive player who is not given a break.

Sadio Mané is also on tour with Senegal, and the Africa Cup of Nations winner could regain the self-confidence he lost in the two friendlies against Bolivia and Iran.
