Fergie: Beckham will make World Cup
|
 David Beckham is back on course to play in the World Cup - according to both Sir Alex Ferguson and the English FA.
The Manchester United manager yesterday revised the pessimistic verdict he gave on Beckham's chances of going to Korea and Japan.
Immediately after the midfielder broke a bone in his left foot against Deportivo La Coruna, Ferguson dismissed his prospects of being fit enough to make the Finals. Now he believes that Beckham can recover in time. |

And an FA source revealed that England coach Sven Goran Eriksson and his backup team have pencilled in their final warm-up match, against Cameroon in the Japanese city of Kobe on May 26, for the inspirational captain's comeback.
However, Eriksson has taken the precaution of earmarking Sol Campbell and Gary Neville as possible stand- in captains should Beckham not regain fitness in time. The game against the African champions is exactly six weeks away and seven days before England's opening Group F match against Sweden.
But it is Ferguson who has done most to ease the nation's fears about Beckham by declaring: 'He has a good chance of going to the World Cup.'
However, the Old Trafford manager was less optimistic about him taking any further part in United 's campaign. |
