Milan have recorded home draws against Lazio and Catania and and a 3-2 away win over Cagliari in the past two weeks. In the meantime The Galaxy have recorded 2-0 wins in games against Chivas and Dynamo. Stories of Beckham (other than trite tittle-tattle) are hard to come by, but hopefully we will be getting reports of how the ankle is recovering soon. Fellow England star Wayne Rooney is also nursing an ankle injury although it is thought that his injury is considerably less damaging than Beckham's. Despite being injured, Rooney played a role in the loss against Bayern Munich, and was seemingly cynically targetted by the German side. He did not play in the draw against Blackburn this weekend, for once Sir Alex's tactics have come up short... with hindsight, it would have been better to have Rooney available for the league tie rather than chasing the European silverware.
Ashley Cole is set to return after serious injury, and Joe Cole is also looking to get some serious work done on the pitch for Chelsea in the hope of being in contention for a World Cup squad place. England's next scheduled warm-up game is at Wembley against Mexico on 24th May.
