Beckham has already undergone the expected surgery in Finland today: "So far everything is fine, the operation went smoothly and nicely."" surgeon Dr. Sakari Orava said. When questioned about the likelihood of Beckham playing in the World Cup, he said "No, I don't think so... healing takes a long time,".
It is likely that Beckham's foot will be in a cast for six to eight weeks, after which he can start physiotherapy. Fabio Capello has been in touch and has said publicly that he hopes Beckham will be recovered enough to figure in the build up to the 2012 European qualifiers.
There is still a question-mark over whether he would have been included in the World Cup squad, but instinct tells you that Capello was at least, seriously considering the option. Milan have expressed their hope that Beckham will be able to play with them again next year, but time will tell whether there is any realistic hope, the next step will be to prepare to join Galaxy when he is fit enough. In all likelihood, 115 caps will be the figure that goes down in the Beckham career record book, but don't write David Beckham off just yet...
