Davies, 19, signed a two-year extension with Bayern on April 20 and is back training with the team as the German league looks at returning on May 9.

“In the morning, we get up and start training at around 10:15 a.m., in small groups, six or seven people, and we do our assignments that we are given on the field,” Davies said. “Obviously, we don’t high-five each other or fist-bump each other, we try to keep a safe distance.

“Once we’re done training, we go home and we trying to stay at home. Obviously if you want to go outside, you can go outside, but we all know that we have to be cautious of the situation and we take cautious steps being outside around a large group of people.”
