The back spasms that David Beckham has been subject to over the last two weeks have been identified by Beckham himself as symptoms of a slight stress fracture to the spine .
Although the diagnosis may sound serious, the injury itself may be no more serious than any other type of back ailment.
“It’s a slight stress fracture in the spine. It’s the same kind of rehab as if I had a disc problem or some kind of back problem,” he said. “I’ve done a lot of rehab over the last 10 days, two weeks. It’s just about getting my core strength right so hopefully it holds up.”
How the injury came about remains a bit of a mystery with no clue as to when the fracture first occurred.
The Galaxy have been grinding out results without their star players for the last few weeks with Donovan away on international duty, Beckham has not even been involved in training until now. “I’ve been doing a lot of core work, strengthening work because obviously this type of injury, the core is the important part,” he said. “Once that’s right, hopefully it’s healed properly and then I step back in.”
Back in full training now, it's just a matter of time before he gets back on the field to contribute yet more 'assists' and maybe even the odd goal here and there.
