It is expected that the injury will take six to eight weeks to recover, although to be fit for the World Cup finals, Beckham will have to train to maintain his fitness level.

Sven Goran-Eriksson has announced that he will name Beckham in his 23-man squad, which he is due to announce on 21 May. England's first game is against Sweden on 2 June.
