Beckham up and about after Achilles surgery
LA Galaxy star David Beckham is back on his feet following surgery on his torn Achilles tendon.
The England international’s World Cup hopes have now been dashed after sustaining the serious injury whilst on loan for Italian club AC Milan but successful surgery in Finland has seen him already take to walking, just days after tearing the tendon which has him on track to return within six months.
“He does not have much pain and has started walking today and gradually done it more and more," Dr. Sakari Orava said.
"It is hard to tell, but in general I can say that after an Achilles' tendon tear, a total rupture, people usually are back in sports within half a year," Orava added.
Beckham said in a statement yesterday that he was remaining positive about the whole situation.
“I'm feeling positive and now concentrating on getting back to full fitness over the coming months," it read.
