Just got word that United States and Sochaux forward Charlie Davies has suffered serious injuries in a motorway accident. One fatality was recorded, while two others including Davies are in serious condition. Fortunately, as of now, he is stable.

Davies came from virtually nowhere to becoming a star striker in Sweden for Hammarby before earning a big-time move to French club Sochaux this summer. Such a blossoming career and this happens… Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery and a quick return to the field. And condolences to the family and friends of the woman who tragically passed away in the same accident.

…so Eddie Johnson at Fulham should start performing not just because of the current shortage of strikers at his club, but also as a stand-in for the similar-styled Davies for the national team.
