Beckham gives reeling Walcott a lift

David Beckham has backed Theo Walcott to bounce back stronger from missing out on a place in England’s World Cup finals squad.

Walcott earlier this week was one of seven players cut from Fabio Capello’s 23-man squad, four years after his surprise selection for the 2006 tournament in Germany as a 17-year-old by Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Beckham himself bounced back from the adversity of his dismissal against Argentina at France 12 years ago to lead England into the 2002 and 2006 World Cup finals.

And now the former England captain, who was ruled out of a place in the team for South Africa by a torn Achilles, has sent a text message to 21-year-old Arsenal forward Walcott, backing him to respond from his disappointment.

According to the Daily Express, Beckham told Walcott: “Keep your chin up, you’ve got a great talent and you will come back and be stronger in the future.”

England captain Ferdinand injures knee

“It happened near the end,” coach Fabio Capello said. “He has gone to hospital for a scan and we will have to see how things are.”

In more positive news, midfielder Gareth Barry trained for the first time in public since injuring his right ankle a month ago.

The ligament damage sustained by Barry playing for Manchester City on May 5 made him uncertain for inclusion in England’s 23-man World Cup squad. But he made the cut after a medical check on Tuesday.

“We have to wait day by day to see what happens with the ankle,” Capello said. “The work is harder every day, stronger every day.”

Goalkeeper David James, however, worked separately from the team in the complex’s gym to start the session.

“David James has a little problem with the knee after a long flight,” Capello said.

Liverpool can survive without Fernando Torres, insists Jamie Carragher

Jamie Carragher has issued a clear message to Fernando Torres and Liverpool’s other want-away players, insisting the troubled club will not miss them if they leave.

Liverpool could lose a number of top players this summer, with Torres, Steven Gerrard, Javier Mascherano and Yossi Benayoun all thought to be considering their futures.

But Carragher remains totally committed to the club he has served for 23 years, and has urged those he want to go to just leave and let those who remain rebuild Liverpool after a difficult season.

Speaking from England’s World Cup training camp here in Austria, Carragher said: ‘During the World Cup I want to enjoy that but I also want to go back to Liverpool and do well there and get the club back where it wants to be.

‘I just want us to get back, and the people who want to be there will come back. If people don’t, then no problem. There will always be a Liverpool Football Club. People always talk about players leaving, about it being the end of Liverpool?
‘But no chance. Better players than the ones we have now have left and we have replaced them. Anyone who doesn’t want to be there, no problem, but we’ll start next season with the players who want to do well.’

Carragher said he expects Rafa Benitez to remain as manager and he knows he too is keen to put a season when they finished seventh in the Barclays Premier League behind them.

‘As soon as the game at Hull finished I wanted the start of next season to be the next day,’ he said. ‘The best thing is to forget it and get on with it.

‘I know what it’s like on the back of a poor season. There’s a lot of negativity all summer. We’ve had it all season and I’m sure we will again through the summer.’
