Beckham back in training with LA

David Beckham has resumed training but is unlikely to make his MLS debut for LA Galaxy on Sunday.

The 32-year-old former England captain could only run as he continued his recovery from an ankle injury.

Asked if his star midfielder would face Toronto, Galaxy coach Frank Yallop said: "Probably not. He's still pretty sore. At least he's running."

Since moving to the USA last month Beckham has managed just 13 minutes action, in a friendly against Chelsea.

US international Landon Donovan said the condition of Beckham's ankle is improving.

"When he got here, it was like a balloon," he said. "You kind of looked at it and said 'you're going to play on that?'

"When he played in the Chelsea game, it was almost a miracle at that point. He shouldn't have been playing probably. But he's getting a lot better."
