Published reports are saying that “The Six Million Dollar Man” David Beckham could miss the rest of the Los Angeles Galaxy’s season due to recent injuries. Beckham has been diagnosed with a sprained right knee after he was injured in the Galaxy’s 4-3 SuperLiga penalty shootout loss to Mexican club Pachuca on Wednesday.
Beckham, who earns a guaranteed salary of $6.5 million a year, is likely to be sidelined for six weeks—meaning his debut Major League Soccer season is virtually over. Becks will have to fight hard to recover in time for Galaxy’s last game on October 21, but will certainly miss England’s crucial Euro 2008 qualifiers against Israel and Russia in September.
