Capello calls time on Beckham

11 August 2010 20:30

Fabio Capello has called time on David Beckham's international career.

The 35-year-old missed the World Cup through injury but ended up being part of the back-up team in South Africa because of the influence he has over the current group of players. However, even when he recovers from his Achilles injury, it seems Beckham will not be required for the attempt to reach Euro 2012.

"I say thank you very much for helping me at the World Cup but probably he is a little bit old," Capello told ITV ahead of Wednesday night's friendly with Hungary at Wembley.
