After being replaced in the 57th minute of their 2 - 1 loss to Inter Milan due to what looked like an injury to his right calf, David Beckham opened up to the press about the ongoing saga between AC Milan and the Los Angeles Galaxy and the difficulties that could lie ahead.

David Beckham admitted it would be “difficult” if he has to return to LA Galaxy after his loan spell at Milan comes to an end. Milan have officially loaned the 33-year-old until the end of the season but his parent club have demanded that he return on 9 March for the beginning of the MLS season. Milan remain confident they will sign Beckham on a permanent deal, however, and the player has remained unequivocal in his desire to stay.

“It would be difficult to go back after everything that has happened,” said the former England captain after yesterday’s Milan derby. “I have said that I want to stay but I will stay professional and do what I have to do.”

Asked if his future would be decided in the next 48 hours, Beckham replied: “I don’t know. Talks have been going on and on and everyone seems to be talking about it but it’s out of my hands. We’ll know more in the next week.”

Beckham also confirmed that his performance here was hampered by a calf injury. “I had a kick against Spain on Wednesday and it didn’t really clear up and I had another kick on the same place — my calf — tonight.”
