American forward Charlie Davies has left a rehabilitation facility
and is ready to resume training with Sochaux as he recovers from
injuries sustained in a car crash last October.
Davies departed the Cap Sport Centre in Capbreton, where he
had been since late February.
"Your boy is finally home!!! Feels so good to be back.
Nothing like sleeping in your own bed," he wrote Friday in his
Twitter account. "Now just waiting for next week to start!!!"
The 23-year-old was likely to be on the U.S. World Cup roster
before a one-vehicle accident Oct. 13 in Virginia. He sustained two
broken bones in his right leg, a broken and dislocated left elbow,
a broken nose, forehead and eye socket, a fracture in his face, a
ruptured bladder and bleeding on his brain.
Davies, who was born in Manchester, N.H., and played for
Boston College, hopes to play in games for Sochaux next month.
He has four goals in 17 games with the U.S. national team and
was a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic team. Davies had two goals in
six matches with Sochaux before the accident.
