David Beckham's World Cup is over: Three-month lay-off with achilles tendon injury

Foot injury spells end to Becks' season



Beckham pulled up in the centre circle under no pressure with just minutes remaining and immediately signalled to the bench, hopping towards the touchline on his healthy leg before collapsing to the floor in agony.



The 34-year-old seemed close to tears as he was treated for at least five minutes on the touchline, and there is speculation that there may have been a "crack" in the bone in his foot.



Becks infamously almost missed out on the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan after breaking his metatarsal close to the tournament.
