Report: Becks not allowed at Cruise wedding

MADRID, Spain (AP) - Real Madrid expects David Beckham to train with the team on Saturday instead of attending movie star Tom Cruise's wedding.

Beckham, who is ruled out of Saturday's league game at Racing Santander with a left knee injury, received Madrid's permission to visit Cruise and his fiancee Katie Holmes in Italy on Friday.

However, club rules insist the 31-year-old midfielder return and work on his fitness before attending the match at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, sports daily AS said.

"He's injured, he hasn't recovered and he has to train," Madrid coach Fabio Capello was quoted as saying.


Asked whether he was aware that Beckham would miss the wedding, Capello seemed unconcerned.

"That's not my problem," he said.

Speculation is mounting that Beckham's three and a half year stay with Madrid will end during the January transfer window.

The 31-year-old midfielder, whose contract ends in June, is stalling on Madrid's offer of a new deal due to his lack of first-team opportunities.

Britain's newspapers Saturday said the wedding incident increased the chances of Beckham leaving the club.

"Cruising for a bruising," read the front page headline of top-selling daily The Sun, adding that "Becks risks club row for wedding."

"Real Mad" said the Daily Mirror. Its editorial criticized Real Madrid for telling Beckham "to sit in the stand like a naughty little boy."

Beckham, who has only started three games this season, will be free to negotiate with other clubs if he hasn't renewed by January

Speculation is rife that he could return to the English Premier League or move to a Major League Soccer club in the United States. MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy is among the clubs reportedly interested.

MLS recently changed its rules on salary caps, which would allow the former England captain to sign a lucrative deal. Beckham has a soccer academy in Los Angeles.

Beckham hasn't won a major trophy with Madrid since his arrival from Manchester United in 2003.

I hope not, Beckham still has some great football left in him. He was touted for Celtic as well, and i would take him in a heartbeat.

Beckham wont go to MLS yet, he is still capapble at playing at the top level. He keeps on stating he wants to stay at Real even though he is not playing as much lately. He has also spoke about Cruises wedding

David Beckham has vehemently denied suggestions of a rift with Real Madrid, but again concedes he is unhappy at being a substitute.

The midfielder jetted to Rome on Friday for a dinner with Tom Cruise, ahead of the Hollywood star's wedding on Saturday.

Reports had claimed Beckham visited the Italian capital against his club's wishes and that coach Fabio Capello was angered by the situation.

Capello has since stated Beckham had been allowed to go to Rome on Friday and the 31-year-old also moved to quash the rumours of a problem with the club.

"I am completely surprised to see some of the newspaper coverage," Beckham told the News of the World.

"I asked the club for permission to go to the dinner on Friday evening and they allowed me to go, as long as I was in Madrid for treatment on my injury and to watch the game on Saturday.

"I did exactly that and I am in Madrid for the whole weekend."

Meanwhile, the former England captain told Italian magazine Sports Week of his difficulty in accepting a place on the bench under Capello.

He said: "I'm not playing a lot for Real Madrid and it is very difficult.

"The manager knows I'm not happy to sit on the bench. I think this is the worst time I've had.

"However, I've no option but to respect his choice and hope it will get better. Now I must work hard to gain Mr Capello's confidence.

"I have faith in what is happening at Madrid, but it also makes things very difficult."

They tried this before when they were first starting a league in the US when Pele, Beckenbauer, Best, etc went over there and it was relatively popular for a while but once they left it was nothing again. It will take a long time for the MLS to get anywhere near the level of the best leagues in Europe and South America, but it can only be good for the American players to get to play with world class players because that can only improve the game over there. Their main problem is that they are too isolated from Europe for their to be a legitimate chance for a world tournament similar to the Champions League and I doubt US teams would be allowed into the Copa Libertadores, so they will struggle to improve if they are only ever really playing each other and not any teams from other countries in a competitive environment.

Dont Forget, they also have a salary cap in MLS, something they dont have in europe

[Kassem]

i think if more money is spent on the mls it would take over europe man

[Sweet & Tender Hooligan]

They should do what Australia done, and introduce a "marquee" player (Dwight yorke with Sydney, Lazaridis with Perth) that seems 2 be working fairly well. And it stops one team bagging all the top players.

[On The Edge of Insanity]

I think that whats this new rule is isn't it, they are allowed to break the cap in order to sign a couple of world renouned players.

[Suffice]

doesn't suprprise me at all. Beckham is done. He's wasted his talent on being a pop star
