Davies resumes training after accident

American forward Charlie Davies has resumed training less than six months after he was nearly killed in a car accident.

Still recovering from injuries sustained in the Oct. 13 crash in Virginia, Davies rejoined his Sochaux club last week after several weeks of rehabilitation. The club says he went for a jog Monday morning.

The 23-year-old player will keep working with a physiotherapist before joining his teammates in 2-4 weeks.

Davies was likely to be on the U.S. World Cup squad before the crash.

His injuries included two broken bones in his right leg, a broken and dislocated left elbow, a broken nose, forehead and eye socket, a ruptured bladder and bleeding on the brain.
