David Beckham got injured quite badly in Milan's last game against Chievo, his Achilles tendon is torn and he left the field in tears. He will undergo surgery and most likely won't be at the World Cup. How does that affect England's chances?
A representative for David Beckham has today denied claims that the former Manchester United midfielder is about to sign for West Ham but you know what they say, there is no smoke without fire. Will Becks join West Ham? Vote now!
That's a mistake, Beckham's experience could still be useful.
Here is what Capello said about Beckham's future in the England squad: "I say thank you very much for helping me at the World Cup but probably he is a little bit old. I hope when David is okay he can play his last game here at Wembley in a friendly to say goodbye and thank you very much to the crowd. I won't be picking him for any more competitive matches. David is a fantastic player, he was really important, but we have to see the new players for the future because the age is important for a lot of people, not only for David."
An few weeks ago Fabio Capello said that he will not call up 35-year-old David Beckham again. Now the midfielder says that the door is still open for him: "Obviously it was a surprise at the time but I spoke to him shortly after that and he explained everything to me and it was brushed under the carpet, so to speak. I've always had a good relationship with Fabio and that's not changed. Things get said, things get taken out of proportion and turned around but at the end of the day the manager's got a job to do and he's doing it well and the lads are repaying that. Like I said, I've always supported him as a manager and the staff he's got down there, and he's always supported me."
Everton boss David Moyes expressed his interest in taking David Beckham on a loan spell during the American league off-season. Becks already made loan moves to AC Milan during the last seasons and stated that fitness is his priority: "I'm just trying to make sure my body's in the right condition and then I'll think about it but I haven't decided anything yet."
His England career is over, he should accept that.
The Los Angeles Galaxy player is eying a loan move to an European club during the MLS season break in order to prove that he's still worthy of a place in the England squad. The 35-year old veteran has not played for the Three Lions since suffering a torn Achilles tendon in March which kept him out of the World Cup, with Fabio Capello then appearing to call time on his international career
David Beckham will be training with the Spurs during the MLS break but Harry Redknapp is said to be discussing a loan deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy to keep the 35-year old midfielder at the team until March. The American team wants him back on February 10th but the season re-starts on the 15th of March.
