Beckham will not start for Milan against Roma: coach

Former England captain David Beckham will not be in AC Milan`s starting line-up against Roma in a Serie A clash on Sunday, according to Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Rome, Jan 10: Former England captain David Beckham will not be in AC Milan`s starting line-up against Roma in a Serie A clash on Sunday, according to Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti."Beckham is ready to play, but he`s coming out of two months of inactivity, so it`s difficult to name him as a starter tomorrow for the match against Roma," said Ancelotti.
The ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder was "ready to help out and at Milan, we are happy he`s with us even if he`ll only be staying two months". "If he then wants to stay with us, that would suit us very nicely, but his contract with the club is clear and I think he`ll respect that." Beckham, who is due to return to LA Galaxy in March, made his Milan debut in midweek when he played the first half of a friendly in Dubai against German side Hamburg. Bureau Report
