Beckham: I have missed everything about AC Milan

David Beckham is delighted to be back with AC Milan.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder spent six months at the San Siro last year and has joined up with the Serie A giants once more from LA Galaxy.

Beckham has overcome a niggling foot injury which plagued him in the latter stages of the MLS season and spoke of his joy at being back in Milan.

He said: "I missed being in Milan and being with the club because my experience with the club was so special in six months and it makes you miss the club.

"I missed playing, being around the team, the players, the fans and everybody at the club. It was good last time and hopefully this time will be just as good."

Fabio Capello maintains the 34-year-old will travel to South Africa if "he plays well and is fit," and Beckham knows what he has to do to remain in the frame.

"It makes me happy but I know I need to work hard," he told Sky Sports News.

"It's not guaranteed. If I play in games and I do well then obviously I've got a chance because I've been part of the squad for most of the games. It's great the manager says that, I'm really pleased he says that, but I know I've got to work hard to be part of the squad.

"It's not that easy but like I said before I'm really happy to be back here, happy to be training with Milan again and everything to do with the club. It's going to be hard work - I'm ready for that."
