USA national team coach Bob Bradley is confident Sochaux forward Charlie Davies can push through his rehabilitation from a serious car accident and make it to this year's World Cup.

23-year old Davies suffered multiple injuries, including two broken bones in his legs, in the incident last October but has already got on the road to recovery.

Bradley says that Davies' will to push himself further could hold him in good stead leading into South Africa 2010.

"The most important thing that you get when you hear Charlie talk is the positive attitude that he has, the determination that he has," Bradley said.

"It shows up in his rehab, it shows up just in terms of his new attitude on a lot of things. I think that when you have that kind of mentality, that kind of attitude, you always have a chance."

"The reminder for anybody is just that for any athlete coming back from an injury, if it's 100 steps to get back to the level that you were playing at, the last steps are the hardest, and they're the ones that are most difficult to predict how long they take. So in the moment you just want to see him continue to work hard. The fact that it's a World Cup year means that everybody has in a way a target and a calendar in mind. But that being said, it's just important that he continues to cover all the steps and gets back to that level."
