AC Milan have confirmed that playmaker Kaka will miss out on Tuesday’s International Friendly between Brazil and Italy in London after injuring his left foot during Saturday’s 1 - 1 draw with Reggina.
Beas gets the opener, while Mo Edu got the start.
AC Milan’s David Beckham gestures as he warms up in the snow before their soccer match against Rangers in Glasgow, Scotland February 4, 2009.
In news that definitely is not news, Becks admits that he wants out of LA, from espn:
”At the moment my lawyers are not talking to the Galaxy but I have expressed my desire to stay at AC Milan now and it’s just down to Milan and Galaxy to come to an agreement.
”I have enjoyed my time here. I knew I would enjoy it but I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I have and do as well as I have.”
Milan have made no secret of their desire to retain the services of the 33-year-old beyond the end of his loan deal, which is due expire on March 9 thereby allowing Beckham to return to the US and take part in pre-season training ahead of the MLS season.
After Sunday’s 3-0 win over Lazio in which Beckham failed to score in his third consecutive game, but did create two goals, Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti described the former England captain as ”indispensable.”

‘Beckham’s lawyers are talking to the Los Angeles Galaxy who are the rightful owners of his registration,’ said the Milan chief. ‘If they show themselves to be ready to look at a deal, we would be really happy to do so.
‘At the moment there’s neither optimism nor pessimism.
After dropping two assists during AC Milan’s 3 - 0 win over Lazio, Carlo Ancelotti and AC Milan included the 33 year old on their 25 man UEFA Cup squad despite being only technically eligible for the February 18th and 26th matches against Werder Bremen.
UPDATE - Looks as if earlier reports of Beckham being left off of Milan’s UEFA roster were incorrect and the official decision will be made following their Sunday afternoon match against Lazio by midnight.
Ancelotti told the club’s Web site, “The delivery of the UEFA list is tomorrow night at midnight. Beckham’s eventual insertion in the list is up to us to decide and will not be forced on us.”
In a big indication as to whether he will or will not be moving permanently to Milan, Carlo Ancelotti has left David Beckham off of the Rossoneri’s UEFA Cup squad roster.
From espn:
David Beckham has revealed he is torn between the “dream” of making his loan move to AC Milan permanent and his contractual obligations to Major League Soccer club Los Angeles Galaxy.
“To play here is the dream of any player,” said Beckham in an interview with Corriere della Sera. “But deciding is not easy; it’s a situation that requires time.
“I am under contract and I have a lot of respect for Galaxy. But the possibility to play at Milan is something special. I knew I would have fun but I didn’t expect to have so much fun.
Uh-oh, it sounds like someone is greasing the skids to get the hell out of here…
