WASHINGTON , D.C. (Oct. 13, 2009) – U.S. National Soccer Team forward Charlie Davies is in serious but stable condition and resting following several hours of surgery at Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C. to treat injuries suffered in a one-car accident on the George Washington Parkway early Tuesday morning in Northern Virginia.
Davies suffered a lacerated bladder and fractures to the tibia and femur bones in his right leg. He also suffered facial fractures and a left elbow fracture. Davies was air-lifted to the hospital where a team of doctors first repaired a ruptured bladder and then inserted titanium rods in both the tibia, the bone in the lower leg, and the femur, which is the thigh bone, with no complications. Davies will be hospitalized for at least a week and additional surgeries will be required to stabilize his left elbow fracture and possibly the facial fractures.
“Injuries of this nature usually require a recovery period of six to 12 months and extensive rehabilitation,” said U.S. Soccer physician Dr. Dan Kalbac, who is with the team in D.C. and collaborated with the treating doctors. ”Due to Charlie’s fitness level, his prognosis for recovery and his ability to resume high-level competition is substantially improved.”
Davies is in Washington, D.C. with the U.S. National Team as the squad prepares for its final 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying match, taking place tomorrow against Costa Rica at RFK Stadium.
Davies, who has played 17 matches for the USA while scoring four goals, started and played 78 minutes in the USA’s 3-2 victory over Honduras in San Pedro Sula last Saturday that clinched a berth for the United States to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Larsson set for Celtic return
Celtic legend Henrik Larsson wants to return to Parkhead to become a coach. The 38-year-old Sweden striker is due to retire from international football and has earmarked Scotland as the place to study for his UEFA badges.
Larsson scored 242 goals for Celtic between 1997 and 2004, winning four Scottish Premier League titles, and is already in negotiations with the Glasgow club regarding his future.
"I talk a lot with Celtic, although nothing is happening at the moment," Larsson said. "Hopefully, something will come up in the future but we'll just have to wait and see. Everyone knows what my feelings are for the club. I will go to Scotland sooner or later.
"If I should become a coach, my ambition is to be the best I can be. That means I will have to leave Sweden."
Bring the King back!
