Beckham emphasis placed on fitness

LA GALAXY: David Beckham has admitted it is highly unlikely he will play in Europe again this season.

The England midfielder has spent two loan spells at AC Milan in the last two years after the end of the Major League Soccer season in the USA.

Beckham, 35, says that it is unlikely he will pursue a similar move this time as he needs to get back to full fitness after his ruptured Achilles.

He returned to action earlier this month for his MLS club the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Asked about returning to Europe on loan again, Beckham said: “I don’t think so.

“I’ll never say never, but after my injury I need to really focus on getting my full fitness back.

“Physically I need to get myself back in order after a very long time out of the game. I can’t say for sure, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.”
