England have a game against France lined up on 26th March, but it is unlikely that Beckham will be considered for this game as his fitness is no more certain than it was when he was training with Arsenal. Beckham is back training with LA Galaxy now and will have pretty much given up on the idea of his 100th cap being handed over any time soon.
There is a glimmer of hope now that Scotland have pulled out of the planned game on May28th, as the USA may be considering throwing their hat into the ring to face an England team which would be almost certain to feature Beckham at some point. It is the MLS who will negotiate with the FA over this possible fixture and it might be suggested that Beckham would be required to be at least part of the squad. This may well test Capello's resolve to only consider players who have earned a place in the team - and I wouldn't be surprised to see him sticking to his guns...
At least by then, Beckham will have had a chance to prove himself on the pitch, maybe we will see Capello catching a 'plane over to watch him play in LA ??
