England will be without midfielder David Beckham at this year's World Cup. England FIFA World Cup 2010 odds without Beckham were now 7.00 at NordicBet.com, which really isn't much of a change. Only two other teams have shorter odds of winning the FIFA World Cup this summer: Spain (5.00) and Brazil (6.00).
Beckham underwent surgery Monday for a "totally torn" left Achilles' tendon and is expected to be out of action for about six months, said Dr. Sakari Orava, who performed the operation.
"He will have to take it very easy during the next two to three weeks or a month, and then he will continue with a recuperation program slowly," Orava told The Associated Press. "The foot won't take much strain for two to three months."
Beckham's spokesman, Simon Oliveira, said the tendon was completely repaired, and he expected Beckham to return to the game.
"David is expected to make a full recovery," Oliveira said.
It just won't be until after the 2010 FIFA World Cup is over.
