David Beckham's recovery is taking longer than expected, and he does not expect to be ready to play until November.
The update by the England midfielder on Monday means he will be gone from Major League Soccer this season unless the Los Angeles Galaxy reach the playoffs. The next time he could play for England probably would be a 2012 European Championship qualifier against Wales on March 26, 2011.
Beckham underwent surgery in March after rupturing his Achilles' tendon while on loan at AC Milan. He initially had been told he would be back by September.
"I won't be running for another three months, so I will be playing again in, probably, November," Beckham said in a video posted Monday on ABC's website. For the rest of the story go to: Associated Press
