David Beckham believes he will be fit to return in September after recovering from the Achilles tendon injury.

The 34-year-old former England skipper suffered the injury in March when he was playing for AC Milan and was immediately ruled out for six months.

Beckham told the BBC on Friday about his return as "probably September".

"I said a couple of weeks ago it would be November but the way it's going. I'm sure there will be setbacks along the way but if it continues to go well, hopefully I'll be back at the start of September.

"It's still a long road, I've got a while to go before I even run again.

"It's going to take time, it's an injury that needs to heal and make sure it's right before I push it in any way but it's going well so far."
