New England Revolution forward Charlie Davies is in remission after being diagnosed with cancer this past spring, the club announced Saturday.

The 30-year-old, who has appeared in eight games this season but not played since April 27, has been treated for liposarcoma, a rare cancer found in soft tissue fat cells.

"It was important for Charlie to concentrate on his family and treatment during the past few weeks and the club honored his wish for privacy," the Revolution said in a statement.
