ARLINGTON, Va. (AP)—U.S. national team forward Charlie Davies had several broken bones and a lacerated bladder after a one-vehicle accident Tuesday in which another person was killed.
Davies underwent several hours of surgery at Washington Hospital Center Medstar, where he was listed in serious but stable condition. The injuries make it unlikely Davis will play in next year’s World Cup.
The tibia and femur in Davies’ right leg were broken. He also sustained facial fractures and a fracture in his left elbow in the accident, which took place at about 3:15 a.m. in the suburbs of the nation’s capital.
Davies will be hospitalized for at least a week and additional operations will be required to stabilize his broken elbow and possibly the facial fractures.

Pakistan's Younus offers to quit
Younus Khan has tendered his resignation as Pakistan captain despite being cleared of match-fixing charges by a parliamentary sports committee.
He submitted his resignation to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) - who are yet to accept it - on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old said he was "disgusted by match-fixing allegations made against me and the team."
Younus was attending a hearing to discuss Pakistan's performance in the recent ICC Champions Trophy.
National Assembly committee chairman Jamshed Dasti had alleged that Pakistan deliberately under-performed during the competition - although he later insisted that the committee never intended to make match-fixing allegations against the players.
"We are totally satisfied with the explanation of the team management and board," he said. "The committee is satisfied no match-fixing took place."
Younus told the Reuters news agency: "Yes, I have submitted my resignation. I have told the chairman to go through my resignation and read my point of view."
PCB chairman Ijaz Butt added: "It's an emotional decision and I reject it.
"I hope to convince Younus to revoke his decision, but if he sticks to his stand then the matter will be decided by the PCB's governing council next week on 19 October."
