MILAN -- A person familiar with the injury says David Beckam will miss the World Cup after tearing his left Achilles' tendon while playing for AC Milan. The former England captain injured himself in the closing minutes of AC Milan's 1-0 win over Chievo Verona on Sunday.
Club physician Jean Pierre Meersseman told Italy's Sky TV that Beckham will fly to Finland on Monday for surgery.
