Report: Beckham to miss World Cup due to Achilles tear

Soccer Betting Lines

03/14/2010 - Milan, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - English superstar soccer player David Beckham will reportedly miss the World Cup in June after suffering an apparent tear to his left Achilles while playing for AC Milan.

The injury occurred Sunday night in a 1-0 Italian League win over Chievo Verona.

AC Milan said on its Web site that "there is the suspicion of a broken Achilles' tendon." The BBC reports Beckham, who is in his second loan stint with Milan from the Los Angeles Galaxy, will fly to Finland on Monday for surgery.

"We all know the great contribution of David, he's also an extraordinary lad," Milan coach Leonardo said. "On the pitch, he had already understood the entity of the injury. He felt a pull in his tendon and the muscle was going up. Pity, for us it's a tough blow."

Instead of playing for England in the World Cup, it appears the 34-year-old Beckham will be recovering from what is believed to be an injury that will take 5-to-6 months to heal.

Beckham is currently England's most-capped outfield player with 115 appearances. He has 17 international goals.
