EmailFootball: David Beckham has arrived in Finland to undergo surgery on the injury he suffered while playing for AC Milan on Sunday night.
Capello has spoken to Beckham and said "it looks like he is out of the World Cup."
The 34-year-old's career has also been called into question, but surgeon Sakari Orava is optimistic David Beckham will make a full recovery from an operation on his injured Achilles tendon.
Orava said: "Top athletes usually heal well but it's a few months until you are back at the same level as you were before.
"I don't think it is a big difference to be 25 or 35, it will be three, four, five months.
"Most of these patients come back at the same level, even in a top soccer player."
