Sochaux: Charlie Davies 'Still Very Far' from Full Return

Filed under: U.S. Men's National Team

Back when Charlie Davies' exclusion from the preliminary World Cup roster caused such an uproar, it seemed as if the rehabbing forward needed just a little more time, and perhaps some faith from the U.S. coaching staff. Davies, seriously injured in an October 2009 car accident, really believed he should have been going to South Africa.

In February, Davies had said that he was "not too far away from playing again." In May, after U.S. coach Bob Bradley announced his roster Davies gave a furious radio interview during which he claimed his club, Sochaux, "denied me a chance at playing in the World Cup" by refusing to give him medical clearance to join the national team. Again, that implied that Davies wasn't far off.
