David Beckham writes open letter to AC Milan mates

A torn Achilles may have forced David Beckham out of the game but the England star has expressed full support to his mates at AC Milan by posting an open letter on the club’s website.

"I want to wish everyone the best of luck and to say I hope they win the title. I would also like to thank you all for your support after the Chievo match,” The Sun quoted Becks, as saying.

"I hope to play with you again and be part of this marvellous club,” he added.

Beckham, 34, is out for the season after he tore his Achilles during Milan's 1-0 win against Chievo last Sunday.

Beckham was on loan at the Serie A club from LA Galaxy.

He underwent surgery earlier in the week but is also ruled out of this summer's World Cup.
