The struggling Galaxy are almost set to welcome back the England international.

tore his Achilles tendon in a match with Milan in March, which ended his dream of playing in the 2010 World Cup for England. With his England career seemingly over, he will be able to focus completely on leading the Galaxy to the MLS Cup for a second consecutive season.



This year though, the Galaxy will hope to avoid their fate from last season, when they lost the MLS Cup to Real Salt Lake in penalties.



After a high-flying start, the Galaxy have floundered a bit in recent times, with only a 2-3-1 mark in their last six MLS matches, and an early elimination from the CONCACAF Champions League at the hands of second-division Puerto Rico Islanders.The Galaxy hope the return of David Beckham can cure what ails them. The veteran midfielder is targeting a September 11 league match against Columbus for his return after six months on the sideline."I think David will help a lot. We need some fresh energy," Landon Donovan told Goal.com. "If you start well, there’s a tendency towards complacency and tendency to back off and you’ve got to find that spark again. Whether that happens on the field or off the field, whether it’s one person making a special play or the whole team figures it out, it doesn’t really matter, but we need to figure it out."Coach Bruce Arena admits his side have an extra dimension when Beckham is on the field, but cautioned his side about thinking he will make an immediate impact:"We’re different when David plays, but we have played this season without David Beckham. When he does get back on the field, he’s going to need time getting comfortable again and getting match fit. Our expectations on David’s return can’t be that great, because it’s going to take him some time to get into the right kind of form."BeckhamFor more on Major League Soccer, visit Goal.com's MLS page and join Goal.com USA's Facebook fan page
