Capello backs Becks for England return next year

DAVID BECKHAM last night underwent a successful operation on a fully ruptured left Achilles tendon and is expected to make a full recovery.

And coach Fabio Capello says he hopes the midfielder can play a part in England’s Euro 2012 qualifying.

Beckham’s chances of appearing in a record fourth World Cup were shattered on Sunday night when he ruptured his Achilles tendon on AC Milan duty against Chievo.
