* David will operated on by renowned doctor Professor Helmu Orawa.

*England manager Fabio Capello, who confirmed he had spoken to Beckham after last night's game to offer his support, said the indications were that he would miss the World Cup, which starts in June.
He said: 'We have to wait for the results of the scan, but it looks like he is out of the World Cup.
'David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow.' 'I am very sad for David that he has suffered this injury.'

*Milan coach Leonardo said after the game: 'Beckham's injury makes us feel terrible. He is an extraordinary guy and today's game proves it yet again.
'I cannot enjoy this evening considering this serious injury. David understood immediately that he had torn his Achilles tendon.'

*Medical experts believe it will be at least three months before he will be able to start training and around nine months before he can play competitively again.

*'Beckham is not well,' said AC Milan midfielder Ignazio Abate. 'To see him suffer like that has really touched us.'

*Clarence Seedorf found it hard to celebrate his match-winning strike knowing that Beckham could have a long injury lay-off.
'It's always ugly to be out because of an injury,' said the Dutchman. 'But it will mean that we will all need to give everything we have even for those who will not be with us.
'They deserve that for what they have done so far this season.'
