US Soccer has put out an official update on the status of US International and Sochaux forward Charlie Davies following an afternoon of surgeries for injuries suffered in an early Tuesday morning, one car accident.

The 23 year old has suffered a lacerated bladder, fractures to the tibia and femur in his right leg, left elbow fracture and facial fractures.  

Thoughts and prayers here at BP_TOW are with all involved.

If you are in the LA area tomorrow, cruise by The Montalban Theatre to watch the USA v Costa Rica World Cup Qualifier. This theatre is the bizness, and if you remember, it features a rooftop field where you can play 3 v 3 pregame and at halftime. I’ll see you there.

ESPN is reporting:

Charlie Davies, a striker for the United States national soccer team, was involved in a one-car accident early Tuesday in which another person was killed, a USA Soccer spokeman said.

Davies was in surgery Tuesday afternoon and in stable condition, USA Soccer spokesman Neil Buethe said. The extent of his injuries were unknown, but Buethe said they were not life-threatening.

It is not known whether Davies was the driver or a passenger in the car.

Surely there will be more on this.
