Injured David Beckham not likely to play in South Africa 2010
Injury rules Beckham out of South Africa
David Beckham’s dream of playing in a fourth World Cup looks to be over after he tore an Achilles tendon in AC Milan’s 1-0 win over Chievo on Sunday.
He was unchallenged when he suffered the injury and hobbled off before being carried away on a stretcher.
The 34-year-old will fly to Finland on Monday for specialist surgery.
Beckham hoped to be part of England’s World Cup squad but coach Fabio Capello conceded the midfielder’s hopes of making the finals in June appear over.
“We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup,” he said in a statement. “I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support, as did Franco Baldini.
“David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow.”

I have always been a Beckham fan since his days Manchester United. I know that Beckham may be past his prime and in the twilight of his football career, but he still deserved the respect of his opponents whenever he was on the pitch. Sadly, I think that this World Cup, in South Africa, will be the last time that we will ever see David Beckham wear an England Shirt. Footballers around the world will never forget the classic free kick against Greece in the dying minutes of the game that sent England to the World Cup in 2002.
