Capello: Beckham too old for England

Soccer Betting Lines

08/12/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - England coach Fabio Capello has signaled an end to former captain David Beckham's international career.

The 35-year-old midfielder, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer, missed the World Cup finals due to injury and Capello believes that now is the right time to move on and look at younger players.

Beckham, who has won 115 caps to date, is expected to feature in one more friendly game to say his goodbyes at Wembley.

"I say thank you very much for helping me at the World Cup, but probably he is a little bit old," Capello told ITV ahead of the 2-1 win over Hungary. "I need to change it. David is a fantastic player, but I think we need new players for the future.

"If he is fit, I hope we will play one more game here at Wembley so the fans can say goodbye."

A later statement from Beckham's agent added: "For your information, there has been no discussion of retirement.

"He will always be available for his country, when fit and if needed he will be there."
