Los Angeles, August 08: English midfielder David Beckham said he hopes to return to the Los Angeles Galaxy in September even though doctors have projected he would not be healthy enough for a comeback until October.
The 35-year-old Major League Soccer superstar suffered a torn left Achilles’ tendon last March while on loan to AC Milan in a Serie A match against Chievo.
Beckham told the Fox Soccer Channel on Saturday that he saw a doctor on Saturday and he was given a prognosis for an October return.
“Two or three weeks before that,” Beckham said he told the doctors. “It’s just about getting strength back in my calf.”
At 12-3 with four drawn for 40 points, the Galaxy began the day with the best record and highest point total in the 16-team US league, which decides its champion in a November playoff.
