England vs Switzerland: David Beckham to be Left Out of Switzerland Match

Now, it seems to be clear that David Beckham has to wait more to play his 100th match for England. Report has it that England coach Fabio Capello is going to exclude the former England captain from his primary squad for next month’s friendly match against Switzerland. There is speculation that Beckham, who also played under Capello while he was in Real Madrid, is yet to get match fitness back. The star footballer plays for L.A. Galaxy in Major League Football in America. However, he is now in vacation as it is off season in America.

Earlier, it was reported that Capello was interested to give Beckham his 100th Cap in the friendly against Switzerland. He has been out of any competitive football since November, and Capello has reportedly questioned on the quality of Major League Football.

Goal.com reported:

Apparently the manager will try to speak to Beckham this week before finalising his selection, but he has said privately that the player cannot be fully match-fit because he has not played a competitive game since late November.

Guardian writes that Capello has found some talented players who are strong enough to replace David Beckham. Aaron Lennon of Tottenham Hotspur and David Bentley of Blackburn Rovers have caught the eye of Fabio Capello. There are many who believe that Capello largely contributed to Beckham’s move from Real Madrid last season. In fact, David Beckham hardly got into the starting line up in Capello’s tenure. Now, let us see how long David Beckham has to wait to play his 100th match for England.
