Germans are very cautious, their medical reports are very matter of fact.
But yes Davies' asset, especially to Bayern, is his speed, particularly going up the field to create space and gaps for him and the Bayern midfield and then having the ability to get back in position to shut down. As such, he's expected to utilize that asset at every available moment, and that's lead, after years to these types of injuries.
Kone, like Buchanan, got dazzled by a big club having interest in them. But a lot of quality players on hand, a lot of competition, and inevitable club politics means just getting the foot in the door isn't a guarantee of anything, even if you perform at the level you did to be attracted to them.
David would be wise to take heed with his next move. Davies may have dodged a bullet as well by not moving to Madrid just yet.
The focus for all the players should be on the next 18 months and the once in a career home World Cup. Their individual profile as club players will be largely judged on that.
