David Beckham had been left out of Fabio Capello's first team, for the 2-1 friendly victory against Switzerland in February, however, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star’s performance has been monitored by Fabio Capello and his assistant Franco Baldini since then.
David Beckham’s play for LA Galaxy in Dallas over the weekend clearly was of a sufficiently high standard to impress Fabio Capello and his assistant enough to recall him.
Fabio Capello is reported to have said: "I have had good reports on him from Franco, who watched him on Saturday night, and also from his club. I know a lot about David Beckham and what he can offer the team."
