U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was due to be discharged from a Boston, Massachusetts, hospital Friday, where he has been recovering from a leg injury he sustained during a bicycle accident in France.

The State Department said Kerry would return to his home in Boston.  There was no word on when he would be back in Washington.

The secretary broke his right femur May 31 in a fall from his bicycle near Scionzier, France, about 40 kilometers from the Swiss border. He was in Switzerland for talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on reaching a nuclear deal before the June 30 deadline.

Kerry was hospitalized in Geneva and later was flown back to the United States aboard a U.S. military C-17 transport aircraft, based in Ramstein, Germany.  He underwent surgery June 2.

Before the accident happened, Kerry had been due to travel to Spain for talks and then to Paris for a conference on fighting the Islamic State group.
