AC Milan have confirmed that David Beckham has broken his achilles tendon, and will be out for a minimum of three months, thus ending his Serie A season and ruling him out of the World Cup barring a miracle.

The midfielder suffered a crack in the foot in the closing stages of Milan's 1-0 win over Chievo at San Siro on Sunday night. Beckham pulled up in the centre circle under no pressure with just minutes remaining and immediately signalled to the bench, hopping towards the touchline on his healthy leg before collapsing to the floor in agony.

The 34-year-old was close to tears as he was treated for at least five minutes on the touchline, and the bad news of a broken achilles tendon has now been confirmed.

Becks infamously almost missed out on the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan after breaking his metatarsal close to the tournament.

It will take an absolute miracle for Beckham to go to South Africa as he is not expected to be back until the middle of June, at which point the tournament will have already begun.

he's already redundant for d English team.

wish him quick recovery

Now this is not too good news. He might not be the player he once was, but his experience would have invaluable to the team. wish him a speedy recovery.

You're correct. Infact Everything He's been doing for the part couple of Months has been in preparation for the World Cup. I wish him God speed recovery sha.

@post
thats it for Becks, football at the top is over, he might as well pack his boots and start looking for some sport commentator gig!!!
although he would have been a great asset for England, they can do without him.

the hardest part is that there was no one around him when he got injured,he just stepped the wrong way!!!!

england wil missd him, old maffo! ; )

Hurray!!!

No more show biz/razzmatazz.
At least we can concentrate on the football in south africa.

Of all things to talk about,even david beckham is making headline on nigg-ers forum.That guy is a media money making hype,there is nothing about him that has to has anything to do with real ni-ggers.

i think you have to look at it the other way around:
DB plays for the England team who is qualified for the world cup and which 9ja might end up playing against (if they go past the first round).
so his injury might be worthy news to 9ja people who may think that him not being around is good news.

what's this doing on the front page, i couldn't give a monkeys, they are more important issues to put on the front page than the David Beckham injury,

and there was me thinking i will be able to get away from his bloody injury on nairaland, since all the bleeding major newspapers in the uk have made this their back page sport headlines,

I will miss him if not 4 anythin, 4 unique hair style. He always display crazy hair style. If na 9ja, I go talk say SWP n Walcott don go visit babalawo as dem visit 4 Lenon. Like play, like play, Walcott don go worldcup again

great news . . .

They're so many players that'll feature in the World Cup, I don't even like David Beckham that much.

This is a very bad news for england, i wish him quick recovery

Too bad, i was expecting my man Beck to play the world cup in africa soil at least for the first time.

This may sound silly to some people . . . but I'm lost, how did that he break that just by kicking the bull. I fill really sorry for him though, I hear it hurts bad

he has made enough money. Let him relax and give other people a chance.

at close to 35yrs old, playing at the top for the best part of the last 18yrs, his body aint as "crisp"as the body of an 16yrs old. an older player is more prone to injury as we can see by how he got injured. also an 18yr old will heal more rapidly that a 34yr old player.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. Older players aside, is it possible for the younger ones to tear their achilles tendon just by trying to kick a ball?

It’s been confirmed that he’ll miss the world cup.
