Capello: Beckham will go to World Cup

The England coach Fabio Capello has revealed David Beckham will definitely be in his World Cup squad if he remains fit during his loan spell at AC Milan, reports The Guardian. Beckham has returned to Milan until the end of the season in a bid to retain his England place and add to his 115 international caps - an England record for an outfield player.

And Capello says that if the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder impresses as much as he did during his first loan spell last year then he will be on the plane to South Africa.

"Of course, if he plays well and is fit I will include him in my squad," Capello told Gazzetta dello Sport. "I don't look at age, I pay attention to quality and David has a lot. He's serious, he's a great professional and he's crazy about the World Cup."
