When David Beckham suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon in a Italian league game in mid-March, doctors gave him an outside chance of returning in time for the World Cup or at the very least part of the MLS season. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like either of these favorable scenarios will transpire. In a recent statement Beckham broke the news that his recovery is behind schedule and he won’t be able to resume playing soccer until November at the earliest.

This timetable does leave open the possibility that he could return to action should the Los Angeles Galaxy make the MLS playoffs. As far as a potential return to England’s national team the first realistic opportunity for Beckham to play would be in a European Championship qualifier against Wales in March 2011. He’s been assured that he’s welcome back at AC Milan in Italy’s Serie A league whenever he’s back in playing shape.

Beckham explained his recovery process:

“I won’t be running for another three months, so I will be playing again in, probably, November.”

“My mentality is to kind of push it and get moving and running and soon as possible. But it’s an injury that has to take time to heal. It’s frustrating. It’s obviously disappointing because I’ve been working for the last two years to get into the English squad [for the World Cup].”

“At the moment, it’s just getting the motion back into the ankle, the tendon, because it’s still repairing. I’m trying to get mobilization back into the ankle.”

Beckham also discussed the injury itself:

“It was like being hit by a hockey puck. I thought someone was behind me and kicked me. Obviously no one was there and I saw my foot hanging and then I felt down there and there was a hole.”

The former England captain would have likely served in a reserve capacity with the World Cup squad. Even without Beckham in the lineup and with lingering injury issues plaguing Manchester United superstar Wayne Rooney soccer betting enthusiasts are bullish on England’s prospects this summer. The ‘Three Lions’ are currently the third favorite in World Cup future betting behind Brazil and Spain.

Florence and the Machine have reached number one with their debut album Lungs.

The record has spent 28 consecutive weeks in the top 40.

Pixie Lott, Mumford & Sons and Lady GaGa also feature in this week’s top ten with debut albums which they released in 2009. Meanwhile, Delphic, who came third in the BBC’s Sound of 2010 poll, went straight in at number eight with their debut album Acolyte.

Martin Talbot, the managing director of the Official Charts Company, said: “It shows how much of the new talent which emerged last year is here for the long term and if Delphic’s chart debut is anything to go by, 2010 promises to be equally exciting.”

The highest new entry in this week’s album chart is Vampire Weekend’s second album Contra, which went in at number three. You Me At Six went straight in at number five with Hold Me Down.

Susan Boyle’s debut I Dreamed A Dream slipped out of the top ten, finishing at number 11, while the Black Eyed Peas dropped six places to number 12. Michael Bublé also fell out of the top ten, moving down nine places to number 14.
