“Somebody took Humpty Dumpty and put him back together again.”

-- James Hashimoto, a trainer with the United States national team who surpervised the rehabilitation of U.S. striker Charlie Davies, who in an October car crash fractured the tibia, fibula and femur in his right leg, and broke his elbow, his nose and his eye socket. His bladder was lacerated and he had a serious head trauma. Davies started full-contact training with his club Sochaux last week, but club president Alexandre Lacombe said that Davies would not see any action this season. Davies, however, remains hopeful of making the U.S. World Cup squad. (New York Times)
