David Beckham Will NOT Play Against Roma On Sunday


David Beckham will not be in AC Milan's starting line-up against Roma in a Serie A clash on Sunday, according to Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti.

"Beckham is ready to play, but he's coming out of two months of inactivity, so it's difficult to name him as a starter for the match against Roma," said the Milan chief.

"He will play if he is in the right condition and if we consider he can give a positive contribution to the match. Beckham is a great professional, very committed and we are all happy with him, even if he will only stay at Milan for two months."

Having worked in football, I totally understand the decision, but it does not stop me from being extremely disappointed.

Well not starting is not the same as not playing. If he's on the bench he will obviously play in the 2nd half at least. He hasn't played enough to warrant a first team place for AC Milan.
