The England midfielder seemed to have recovered from an earlier ankle injury. Beckham is aiming to boost his chances of making England's World Cup squad. He will stay at Milan until the end of the season. AC Milan currently lies second in Serie A, but a Champions League clash with Beckham's former club, Manchester United, is also on the schedule. The first leg of the tie is due to take place on 16th February.
