David Beckham Tears Achilles Tendon Leaving World Cup In Doubt

Karma?

David Beckham will more than likely miss the World Cup after tearing his left Achilles tendon while playing for AC Milan.

Bidding to become the first English player to appear in four World Cups, Beckham was injured without getting hit during AC Milan’s 1-0 Italian League win over visiting Chievo Verona.

With only a few minutes remaining and the score 0-0, Beckham was by himself with the ball at his feet, shifted his weight and reached a hand down to his left heel. Beckham then stood up and snapped his wrists like he was breaking a twig in half in a gesture to show the AC Milan bench he knew the tendon was broken.

Visibly in pain and in tears, Beckham went to the sideline for medical attention, leaving Milan a man short because all three substitutes had been used.

Beckham kept repeating “It’s broken, it’s broken,” when he came off the pitch.
