LA Galaxy star David Beckham has confirmed he will be a part of the England squad at the upcoming World Cup.

Despite being injured and forced out of the playing side of things, the 34-year old midfielder has been invited by national team manager Fabio Capello to join the touring party to go to South Africa.

"I won't be playing, but as a supporter and part of the team, the manager's invited me," he revealed to David Letterman on the Late Show.

"I haven't spoken to him about details but it will be about how my leg will be."

Beckham will not take any part in the World Cup due to a ruptured Achilles he sustained whilst playing for AC Milan when on loan from the Galaxy in March and said the injury could have come as he strived to push for selection for the Three Lions.

"I think I'd been running too much in the game and I was tired, there was a minute left and it just went," he added.

"'I think in the last two years I've been pushing myself too hard because I wanted to get into the World Cup and stay in the English national team and I'd been flying from LA back to Europe a lot and I think it gave up."

And Beckham added that he will honour his contract with the Galaxy before deciding on what his future holds.

"I will be playing for the Galaxy for the rest of the time now, for the rest of my contract," he added further.

"I've always honoured my contracts and I'll do that with the Galaxy. After that we'll see what happens, but I'm very happy there."
