Beckham still has England ambition

Steve McClaren reports David Beckham is as determined as ever to play for England.

Beckham has just returned to training with Los Angeles Galaxy after recovering from a long-standing ankle problem and has been overlooked for the upcoming games against Estonia and Russia but could be fit to face Croatia next month.

"I have spoken with David, and he is working towards being fit for Croatia," said McClaren. "He is in light training at the moment and hopes to be in contention for that squad. He is a true patriot who loves playing for England."
