David Beckham Injury – David Beckham suffered a large setback in his game against Chievo Verona on Saturday. Even though his team may have won the match, the injury to David Beckham will loom heavily for the rest of the season. Beckham’s doctor, Surgeon Dr. Sakari Orava said that Beckham’s Achilles tendon was “completely torn” and that it would be a month before he was even really ready to begin rehab and start the recuperation process. Beckham will have to take it very easy over the first three weeks, and doctors are hopeful that he would be able to begin treatment soon after that. Beckham has been an integral part of his team’s offense, and the 34 year old had been playing some of the best football he’s played in years at the time of his injury.

The injury occurred in the final minutes of his game against Chievo Verona. While many speculated in the early minutes after the injury that it appeared as if he had torn his ACL, the actual injury suffered by Beckham was a torn Achilles Tendon. The Achilles Tendon is not only the largest tendon in the human body, but it is the strongest as well. It is a very serious injury to recover from, the recovery time for each person can be vastly different depending on the individual. For some, it may take up to a year or more before they are once again able to play serious contact sports.

Beckham’s torn Achilles Tendon will also force him to completely miss the world cup. This comes as a disappointment to not only fans of their home team, but to fans of the sport around the world as well. Beckham said on Sunday that he is going to take his rehab serious, and that he hopes for as speedy a recovery as possible.
