Becks remains a fitness worry

DAVID BECKHAM faces a make-or-break fitness test in Macedonia today ahead of England’s Euro 2004 qualifier.

Beckham sustained a ‘tight groin’ in Real Madrid’s match against Villareal on Tuesday night to add to England’s injury concerns following the withdrawals of Paul Scholes, Steven Gerrard and Rio Ferdinand.

He trained away from the rest of the squad yesterday at Manchester United’s former training ground, The Cliff, and was put through a solo gym session with physio Gary Lewin.
