LA Galaxy's England midfielder David Beckham admits he's still short of the match-fitness required to contribute to Fabio Capello's team.
The former England captain was speaking at a press conference in Seoul as his club, the LA Galaxy, prepared to begin a three-match tour of Asia.
And the midfielder told the press conference: "I would love to reach 100 caps, but I have to be physically ready to be part of the team. All I've done is training, I have no match fitness."
Galaxy are set to play FC Seoul in a friendly on Saturday before games in Shanghai on March 5 and Hong Kong on March 9, although this latter fixture is yet to be ratified by the Hong Kong football association.
Beckham has no issues with Capello after being overlooked for the friendly at Wembley.
He added: "I played under Fabio Capello before (at Real Madrid). He is a great manager and a good person.
"He will pick players if he believes they are fit enough, and with me playing no games it was only right that there are other players that played many games."
England's next match is against France in Paris on March 24.
