DAVID Beckham will not be fit to play again until November as he continues to recover from surgery to repair his torn Achilles tendon, the injured England midfielder said on Monday.
Beckham, already ruled out of the June 11 to July 11 World Cup finals, suffered the injury in March while on loan to AC Milan from the Los Angeles Galaxy. He now looks set to miss the entire Major League Soccer season unless Galaxy reaches the playoffs.
"I'm not going to be running for another three months so I'll be playing again, probably in November," Beckham said in a video posted on ABC.com ahead of his appearance on The View, a daytime talk show.
Beckham was injured near the end of Milan's match against Chievo Verona on March 14 when he was by himself on the pitch with the ball at his feet.
"It was like being hit by a hockey puck. I thought someone was behind me and kicked me," Beckham said. "Obviously, no one was there and I saw my foot hanging, and then I felt down there and there was a hole."
Beckham flew to Finland for an operation performed by one of the world's top specialists.
The midfielder started therapy 10 days ago according to another interview posted on MLSnet.com.
"I kind of want to push it but with this kind of injury you can't. You just kind of have to wait for it to heal and move on," said Beckham.
