Beckham is finally here but ...
Well, he is finally here with the Galaxy. But the fans only saw him for 16 minutes during his first game in action and where is he now?
According to Yahoo! Sports, his ankle is swollen after th tackle from Chelsea's Steve Sidwell in his first game. But that was the main reason why. During his last game with Real Madrid, his ankle was given a pain-killing injection by doctors. They won the game vs. Barcelona.
Only recently has his new coach, Frank Yallop spoke out about his condition and why he wasn't seen on the field after the first game.
"There is no structural damage at all, to the tendons, bones, or anything," said Yallop, speaking at the Galaxy's training fields. "It is just when he played the last game in Madrid he got injected."
"A lot of scar tissue came from that. Because he was not feeling the pain, he kind of did more damage to it. Not structural, just fluid and bleeding and stuff like that. It basically just compacted and sat in there."
"He got told it would be OK just by resting it and obviously it wasn't OK. When he started to run he felt sore and it got pretty tight."
"We feel for him. He listened to what they told him to do and he did it, and all of a sudden his ankle is blown up and sore."
Hopefully he will be alright soon and able to play in their coming up game with Toronto FC, that's what the coach is also aiming for.
