David Beckham To Miss The World Cup
Beckham suffers torn Achilles tendon
David Beckham left his hotel on crutches and headed to the airport Monday morning to catch a plane to Finland for surgery on his torn left Achilles’ tendon.
The former England captain was injured in the closing minutes of AC Milan’s 1-0 win over Chievo Verona on Sunday.
With his hopes of becoming the first English player to appear in four World Cups shattered and his future in international soccer in doubt, Beckham was slated for surgery either later Monday or Tuesday morning with specialist surgeon Dr. Sakari Orava.
I remember when David Beckham’s first loan move to A.C Milan was announced saying how he is going to pick up an injury. Well, it didnt happen in his first loan spell but sadly It happened in his second loan spell. Football is a tough sport on the body at any age, even more so at 34. When you are flying half way around the world to play football for almost the entire year non stop I wasn’t shocked when something went wrong with Beckham’s body.
Still a sad piece of news as one of the world’s most high profile players will likely miss the World Cup.
