Soccer icon David Beckham missed the Los Angeles Galaxy's SuperLiga game
against Mexican champion Pachuca on Tuesday night because of an injured
left ankle.
Beckham watched the game in street clothes from a box as his new
teammates began play in the tournament involving four teams from Major
League Soccer and four from Mexico's Primera Division. The winning team
will receive 1 million U.S. dollars.
The Galaxy will continue tournament play Saturday night against the
legendary Mexican team Chivas at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Because of the injury that has bothered him for more than a month,
Beckham again missed practice yesterday. He instead underwent therapy for
the injury sustained June 6 while playing for England in a Euro 2008
qualifying game against Estonia.
The injury forced Beckham to hobble off the field in his final game with
Spain's Real Madrid June 17 and left him unable to practice with his new
teammates before making his debut with them Saturday.
"He's getting ice, a lot of friction and massage, trying to get the
swelling away. That's the thing the giving him the most problem," coach
Frank Yallop said. "It has improved in the last week."
Beckham played nearly 16 minutes Saturday in his much anticipated and
highly promoted debut with the Galaxy, who signed him to a five-year
contract in January that could bring him as much as 250 million dollars.
Playing Saturday didn't make the ankle injury "any worse," Yallop said.
In Beckham's debut, the Galaxy lost to English powerhouse Chelsea FC,
1-0, in the World Series of Football exhibition tournament, its third
consecutive shutout loss. The Galaxy has not scored in its last 285
minutes of play.
