Beckham not a fringe player, says Real boss

REAL MADRID coach Mariano Garcia Remon has insisted David Beckham is not an outcast despite playing no part in the 3-2 win over Racing Santander.

The England captain was alongside fellow ‘galactico’ Roberto Carlos on the bench for the game.

But Garcia Remon insists he bases his team selection on the preparatory work done leading up to the game.
