LA Galaxy's Beckham gutted to miss England games

LA Galaxy star David Beckham admits he's gutted at missing out on England's Euro2008 qualifiers this week.

He said: "Of course, I'm disappointed that I won't be joining up with the England squad but I wish the lads all the best.

"There's definitely enough quality to get results against Israel and Russia.

"And although I'm not the best armchair fan, I'll be cheering on the lads from home."

Becks - who signed for Galaxy in a £128million, five-year deal - is also likely to miss the rest of the club's season, which finishes on October 21.

His new side are bottom of the MLS Western Division but the star vowed to play again as quickly as possible. He said: "To get back to fitness and then get injured again is very disappointing but I'll be doing everything I can to get back soon."
