AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani hopes David Beckham returns to the San Siro for a third spell next season, even though the England international ruptured his Achilles tendon during the Rossoneri's 1-0 victory against Chievo on Sunday.

Although Beckham has been told his career is not over, he is almost certainly out of this summer's World Cup finals as it has been confirmed that he will not recover from the injury for up to six months.

The 34-year-old is currently on loan at the San Siro from Los Angeles Galaxy until the end of this season, but Galliani told Italian newspaper La Repubblica: "I gave him a hug in the changing rooms and I told him that, if he wants, next year he will be with us.

"He will probably be out for five to six months. I saw him suffering.

"He came to Milan to be called up by (England boss Fabio) Capello. Unfortunately, this is football but Beckham has great will-power."
