Charlie Davies on track to play next month

Charlie Davies continues to make huge strides in his recovery and quest to be ready for this summer's World Cup in South Africa.  American soccer fans are cheering him on all the way as his return would provide a substantial boost to the US squad.  He has been rehabbing at Cap Sport Centre since late last month along with Ashley Cole and Michael Essien.

Charlie Davies was severely injured in an accident last October outside Washington D.C.  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.  Just the fact that he is almost ready to return to the training field so quickly is remarkable.

"I'm outside, running at a good pace, as far as jogging, cutting, agility and playing with the ball," he said in an interview posted Wednesday on the team's Web site. "I'm starting to dribble and trying to get the movements back. By the end of next week, I'll think I'll be pretty confident to end up joining the team again in training."
