BECKHAM RECALLED TO REAL SQUAD

David Beckham has been recalled to the Real Madrid sqaud after Fabio Capello included him in the squad for Saturday's league match at Real Sociedad. We had doubts after he signed such an important contract with the American side,' Capello told a news conference at Real's training base in Valdebebas. 'We doubted he could train with the same enthusiasm after that, but he has been training perfectly. He has always had the full support of his team mates. He has behaved like a great professional and is now returning to the squad. 'I'm counting on him until the end of the season.'

BECKHAM TO PLAY AT OLD TRAFFORD FOR CHARITY GAME

David Beckham will return to Old Trafford to play a charity game between Manchester United and a Europe team next month. Beckham, who scored on his unexpected comeback for Real Madrid last Saturday, has been confirmed as a member of the European All-Star team which will play United in a jubilee match being staged to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the European Common Market, the forerunner of the European Union, and United's 50 years of European competition. Beckham, Gerrard and Carragher have all been selected for the lineup and the former England captain, who has been dropped by national team coach Steve McClaren, will be returning to the ground where he had 11 successful seasons with Manchester United. The European side will be managed by Italian World Cup winning manager Marcello Lippi, who is expected to include several members of his squad which lifted the trophy in Germany last summer.
