According to the Spanish "Primera" league club in Madrid on Friday, 31-year-old midfielder David Beckham will miss his team's 8th round match in the Spanish championship against Taragona's "Gimnastic" team due to a pulled thigh muscle.
The former captain of the English national team suffered the injury during the Spanish Cup match against the III division club "Ecija" on Wednesday, which ended in a 1-1 draw. This was only his second appearance in the main lineup during eight games.
Beckham did not train with the rest of his team mates and will definitely not play on Saturday against "Gimnastic".
Recently, Beckham's future at Real Madrid is very uncertain and has many doubts.
The player's current contract is valid until the end of this season and Real Madrid hopes that Beckham will extend the contract for another two years. However, the media reports that the midfielder may decide to leave the team because coach Fabio Capello does not allow him to play in the main lineup.
At the moment, the Spanish giant Real Madrid is in third place in the national championship with 14 points. This Wednesday (November 1st), the team will travel to Romania to face Bucharest's "Steaua" team. In the UEFA Champions League group E, "Real" is in second place with six points, trailing three points behind the undefeated French champions, "Lyon".
