David Beckham gets on a car as he leaves the Principe di Savoia hotel in downtown Milan, Italy, Monday, March 15, 2010. Beckham left the hotel on crutches and headed to the airport for a flight to Finland for surgery on his torn left Achilles' tendon, an injury likely to keep him out of the soccer World Cup. The 34-year-old former England captain was injured in the closing minutes of AC Milan's 1-0 win over Chievo Verona on Sunday. With his hopes of becoming the first English player to appear in four World Cups shattered and his future in international football in doubt, Beckham was scheduled to be operated on either later Monday or Tuesday morning by specialist surgeon Dr. Sakari Orava.
