L.A. Galaxy boss Bruce Arena has said that he has no plans to rush England football star David Beckham back into action.

Arena was speaking as his team is on a three-game losing skid that has put their MLS table-topping position in jeopardy.

According to The Sun, Beckham has been out all term with an Achilles injury, but has been training for the past two weeks.

With eight games before the play-offs Arena said: "David's in uncharted territory. Nobody really knows."

He added: "You see estimates of how long it takes to come back from this kind of injury but we're really not that clear what the timetable is, hence we're not setting any targets. We're very close. We just need to see how he reacts every day." (ANI)
