Retracted muscle = complete tendon rupture = out for min 6 months with or without surgery.

Agreed - didn't realize/hear that it completely ruptured.

They would be retarded to take him to South Africa when he won't be 100% ( no matter how successful the surgery was ) and then have to bring someone else down to join the squad when they realize he can't play.

Honestly, I think Becks is great, but I am more disappointed that Owen Hargreaves isn't ready. He is so underrated. I am certain he was a big reason United won the CL...

I feel terrible for him.

I was at physical therapy today and my therapist said that there is no possible way he can play by June.

Very sad story.

The friend said: "David has been crying and is in deep shock.

"Football is his life and he feels like it has been unfairly taken away from him. He's just so low.
