Beckham at Spurs until 22nd Feb

David Beckham is staying on with the Spurs squad for further training until 22nd February - previously the return date had not been finalised.

Had he managed to get on to the pitch in a 'Spurs shirt, he may have been in contention for tomorrow's Englands friendly against Denmark. The England squad has been hit quite badly by injuries, including most crucially, to Steven Gerrard.

Arriving belatedly in LA should not be a problem for Beckham and the LA squad, it is a scenario both parties are familiar with - Beckham will be missing some of the pre-season games that The Galaxy have lined up - but whether he would have benefited from attending a 7-1 drubbing of a University team is probably not even worth discussing...
