Beckham Left Out Of England Squad

David Beckham has been left out of Fabio Capello's first England squad to play Switzerland on 6 February.
It means Beckham will be left still searching for his 100th cap, although Capello has not fully closed the door on the 32-year-old former captain.

Capello, who also dropped Beckham at Real Madrid, is thought to have had doubts over his match fitness.

The Italian will name his provisional party at 1530 GMT on Thursday, with the final squad announced on Saturday.


Beckham has not played a competitive game since England's Euro qualifying defeat by Croatia on 21 November.

RE: Beckham Left Out Of England Squad

well, it is certainly a pity because with beckham on ninety-nine england appearances, capello has prolonged the wait for becks to get his hundredth cap. i guess mclaren would have looked more kindly on beckham
