Jürgen Klinsmann wants Michael Bradley to show him he hasn't taken a step back after his move to the MLS.

Bradley had a disappointing World Cup and the playoff hopes of Toronto FC appear bleak.

“He has to prove that he hasn’t lost a bit,” Klinsmann said at his prematch press conference on Monday prior to the US friendly with Honduras. “We’ll see now where he’s at. Obviously it looks pretty much like [Toronto will] not making the playoffs even if they mathematically [have] a chance. We’ll see now how he deals with that disappointment. It’s down to him and his environment to see what level he’s capable to play.”

“I think despite a less than successful season on a team level, I have still found ways to push myself and improve,” Bradley said.
