West Ham United wing-back Julien Faubert is eyeing a late run for France's World Cup squad.

Faubert celebrated his 50th appearance for West Ham by scoring his first goal for the club in the defeat of Hull.

Faubert won his only France cap in 2006 but is convinced he can force his way into Raymond Domenech's plans.

"I am 26 now and at that age, you do think about the international team," said Faubert. "When I came to West Ham the France manager didn't think it was a good decision but I came because it's a nice club and I'm in the Premier League.

"I hope there is still time to go to the World Cup but if not, maybe I can be in the team after that."
