Galaxy: Beckham Not Going On Loan During Offseason
LONDON (AP) -- The Los Angeles Galaxy says David Beckham is expected back at the team next month rather than going on loan to another club during the Major League Soccer offseason.
The 35-year-old midfielder said after an awards' ceremony that he hoped to play in Europe during the winter to boost his chances of being recalled to England's national team.
Beckham spent the last two winters at AC Milan but the Galaxy is reluctant to send him out on loan again after he injured an Achilles' tendon while playing in Italy in March.
The Galaxy said Monday in a statement to The Associated Press that it is "not aware that David is looking to be loaned to any other team and we are fully expecting he reports with the rest of his Galaxy teammates in late January for the upcoming season."
