David Beckham limped off after his recent game for L.A. Galaxy which ended in defeat as underdogs Real Salt Lake  beat them on penalties.  Beckham, who was the only player actually to score with his penalty admitted that he had needed 3 cortisone injections into his ankle before even being able to take the field against Real Salt Lake, and by the end of the first half was really struggling against the pain. It seems that his chronic injury is aggravated by the artificial pitches and also by the fact that games are two hours long and he’s been playing on consecutive weeks instead of resting his injury.

Doubts have now been raised regarding his ability to be fit in time for his loan to AC Milan in the New Year, but he is hopeful that he will be able to bounce back from this injury and also be ready to play for England in the next World Cup. However, he is likely to struggle to get into the current AC Milan team as they have many first-class players to choose from.  Poor Becks has been plagued by injuries ever since joining L.A Galaxy, and this most recent ankle injury has been plaguing him for several weeks.  Sustaining bruising to a bone, as he has,  is extremely painful and causes swelling and inflammation which need to be treated with rest and application of ice.

David admits that it was tough for L.A. Galaxy to lose the match in that way, but states that the team are very proud of their record this season, and that there is no doubt he will be back.
