The much discussed and over-hyped debut of David Beckham into Major League Soccer could be delayed as Becks has an injured ankle.  He re-injured the ankle during practice yesterday.

The 32-year-old former England captain was limited to light exercises and ball work with the injury originally sustained on England duty back in June continuing to bother him.

Beckham is still hoping to be able to make his Major League Soccer debut in Saturday’s friendly against English Premier League giant Chelsea, but his new employers will not want to risk their multi-million dollar signing in an exhibition game unless they are sure he is healthy enough to play.

No word if the injury could have occurred during the steamy photo shoot with wife Victoria Beckham that currently appears in W magazine.  Beckham also injured his right knee earlier in the year.
