The famous David Beckham tore his achilles tendon in the closing minutes of AC Milan’s 1-0 victory over Chievo Verona. The injury occurred while Beckham was handling the ball in open space. It was a non-contact play that resulted in Becks reaching to his achilles and tumbling to the pitch.

This certainly puts Beckham’s presence at the World Cup in serious doubt. This may seem like trouble for England, but for those who know soccer know Beckham wasn’t a sure thing to be placed on the 23-man roster.  This injury certainly will not help his chances. An injury of this nature takes about 8 – 10 weeks to heal. Then he must work on his fitness. Tough to call right now, but my guess is we won’t be seeing Posh in the stands this summer.
