A few Galaxy players seem to believe that Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis won’t play against them next week in MLS Cup 2011, but defender Gregg Berhalter isn’t yetconvinced. His attitude is, “We’ll see.”

“I think that until he’s not playing, until he’s not on the field in the final, we’re still thinking he’s going to play, most likely,”said Berhalter, who has taken on the role of assistant coach for his final season as a player. “I would have to personally check him to believe that he’s not going to give it everything he’s gotto play in that game. So we’ll see.”

Davis declared himself out of the championship game with a torn quadriceps muscle that forced him to watch on crutches as Houston rode out a 2-0 defeatof Sporting Kansas City in the Eastern Conference final Sunday. “It hurts losing him,” Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall told The Houston Chronicle. “But at the same time, I feel like we have a deep team. We havea team of dangerous players, and I think we’ve proven that even without Brad.”

The Galaxy has resumed training after taking a couple of days off. Landon Donovan, whowas scheduled to play for the U.S. against France in Paris Friday and return to L.A. over the weekend, instead elected to stay with the Galaxy.
