Beckham limps out of Galaxy clash

David Beckham limped out of the first half of Los Angeles Galaxy's Superliga final clash with Mexican outfit Pachuca nursing what appeared to be a knee injury.

Beckham tripped over the ball when challenging Pachuca midfielder Fernando Salazar.

The England midfielder remained face down on the grass for a few seconds before gradually getting up and limping to the sidelines.

Beckham had been feeling the effects of a long-standing ankle injury again in recent days ahead of the Superliga match in Carson, California.

He also had to contend with playing 90 minutes on back-to-back days last week.

Beckham played for England in their 2-1 friendly defeat against Germany at Wembley on the Wednesday and then, after flying overnight, turned out for Galaxy against Chivas in Los Angles 24 hours later.

Beckham injured his ankle playing for Spanish giants Real Madrid in their title decider and the injury has hampered him since joining Galaxy on July 13.
