The L.A. Times has confirmed earlier reports from SBN’s Daily Soccer Fix: David Beckham won’t play Saturday, but because of an injury, not any suspension. From the Times:
Beckham’s ‘Taken a Knock on His Achilles’
David Beckham did not travel with the Galaxy when it left for Columbus today and is likely to miss Saturday afternoon’s game against the Crew in Ohio.
A spokesman for the English midfielder said Beckham had taken “a knock on his Achilles” tendon and was receiving treatment for the injury, which he described as minor.
The Galaxy has declined comment. Coach Bruce Arena will address the matter in Columbus on Friday, a team spokesman said. Beckham made only a token appearance when the Galaxy took part in a bowling event on Tuesday evening and has not trained fully with the team this week.
