Beckham: I may have future with England

David Beckham has admitted that he was "surprised" when Fabio Capello made comments about the future of his international career.

However, the LA Galaxy midfielder also said that based on his conversations with Capello afterwards, he may still have a future with the England team.

He said: "Obviously it was a surprise at the time. But I spoke to him shortly after that and he explained everything to me. It was brushed under the carpet, so to speak.

"He (Capello) said ... if you're performing and you're playing well then you have a chance of being in the squad. The thing about my situation now is just getting back on the field and getting back fit. Then, what happens after that, we'll see."

Beckham played for 45 minutes on Wednesday in a clash against Chivas USA to test out the ankle.

He made it clear that his priority is to get back to his peak fitness level and get as much game time as possible.
