Oh wait, that’s gone too.

Bummer.

David Beckham was sidelined indefinatley yesterday playing for AC Milan when he broke his Achilles tendon.

Ouch.

The Achilles tendon attaches the calf muscle to the heel.  If it breaks (or tears) the calf muscle will literally pull up, making walking or running virtually impossible.

Becks was escorted off the field in a stretcher, clearly in pain and was heard to say “It’s broken” a couple of times.

This is really bad news for the 34 year old soccer player.  As it will likely sideline him for the World Cup this summer and may in fact cut his career short as well.

Becks is apparently being flown to Finland later today to undergo surgery.
