Beckham still doubtful for Saturday

David Beckham's hopes of making his first start for Los Angeles in their SuperLiga clash with Mexican giants Chivas Guadalajara on Saturday remain in doubt.

The 32-year-old England midfielder is still struggling with a swollen left ankle following ligament damage sustained while on international duty last month.
Beckham aggravated the problem as he helped Real Madrid to the Spanish title before suffering swelling after the flight to California a fortnight ago.
He did manage to come on for the last 12 minutes of the Galaxy's 1-0 friendly defeat at the hands of Chelsea last weekend but has been unable as yet to take a full part in training with his new club.
Whether Beckham plays or not, it will have little bearing on the size of the crowd for Saturday clash with Chivas.
The Guadalajara club and Mexico City's Club America are Mexico's biggest clubs and have a huge following among Mexican communities in cities across the US.
The last time they played in Los Angeles, Chivas drew a record crowd of 92,650 as they took on Barcelona 12 months ago at the Coliseum.
