Manchester United captain Gary Neville says Fabio Capello writes off good friend David Beckham at his peril.
In his column for the Sunday Times of Malta, Neville wrote: "I did find it odd that Capello made a statement about David Beckham being too old to play for England. It was a strange thing to say about someone as prominent as Becks before a match. Managers know that statements like that will create a furore, but he's not stupid, so I can't imagine he just said it off the cuff.
"Becks has been written off many times before and he's always come back to prove people wrong. I believe you should never rule anyone out of contention to play for their country because you don't know what can happen with injuries or form. Becks could be fit again in two months, playing the best football of his life."
