Beckham will stay in Milan until the end of the season before returning to LA

AC Milan have revealed that David Beckham suffered an ankle injury during training on Tuesday.

The news comes only two days after the midfielder agreed to extend his loan from LA Galaxy until the end of this season, a move he part-funded himself.

"During today's training, David Beckham suffered a trauma to his right ankle," said AC Milan in a statement on the club's website.

"In the next few days his condition will be evaluated."

Milan have been hit by a spate of injuries in recent weeks.

Playmaker Kaka has been out with a foot injury since 7 February, while striker Marco Borriello and midfielder Gennaro Gattuso are injured.

Ronaldinho, Clarence Seedorf and Massimo Ambrosini are not fully fit.

Milan, currently third in Serie A, visit 15th-placed Siena on Sunday.
