More bad news for the England national team… David Beckham has torn his left Achilles tendon and is uncertain for now for World Cup 2010.

Club physician, Jean Pierre Meersseman, told Italy’s Sky TV that Beckham will fly to Finland on Monday for surgery.

Beckham sustained the injury on his own as the ball was at his feet.  He shifted his weight wrong and immediately grabbed his left heel.

Milan head coach, Leonardo, following the match said, “David understood immediately that he had torn his Achilles tendon. When the tendon breaks, everything comes away and the muscle starts to rise. I felt great pity for him. This injury has been a heavy blow for him and for us. Unfortunately the party is ruined.”
