David Beckham Will Be Off The Soccer Field For At Least 6 Months
Posted on Wed Mar 17, 2010 08:17 AM PDT
Yesterday Victoria Beckham arrived via private jet to Turku, Finland to visit her husband David, who is recovering from the Achilles tendon injury he sustained in last Sunday's soccer match in Italy.
Orthopedic surgeon Sakari Orava said the soccer pro is expected to be out of comission for about six months, which rules him out of competing in the World Cup. We figured that might be the case, but we were shocked when Orava added that Beckham "may never return to top-flight football."
The Daily Mail reports that Beckham was in "some pain" after undergoing surgery on Monday, but he's already made his first steps on using crutches. "David has refused to give up," Orava said. "These walking exercises are the first day's program after surgery." Orava added, "After that he will get a detailed program for further rehabilitation, and then, Wednesday probably, he flies to London, and then to the U.S."
While this is not the best news, there is a bright side. England's coach Fabio Capello said that he may take David to the World Cup as an unofficial cheerleader, where he may also be asked to perform a few spots on TV. See, we'll still get our dose of Becks!
Get better #32!
