Los Angeles : Former England captain David Beckham is still a major injury doubt for the Los Angeles Galaxy's SuperLiga clash with Mexican giants Chivas Guadalajara Saturday.
The former Real Madrid midfielder has continued to struggle with a swollen left ankle following ligament damage sustained at the end of Spanish La Liga season, report Soccernet.
Having made a late appearance against Chelsea last Saturday, Beckham missed Tuesday's 2-1 SuperLiga victory over Mexican champions CF Pachuca.
Although Galaxy head coach Frank Yallop revealed Monday that the ankle was improving, the midfield star has still not taken part in full training since his arrival in California two weeks ago.
The 32-year-old missed another practice session Thursday, according to a Galaxy spokesman, who said that rather than joining his team-mates on a practice pitch at the Home Depot Center, Beckham stayed inside to receive "more treatment and rehab".
Whether Beckham plays or not, it will have little bearing on the size of the crowd for Saturday's clash with Chivas.
The Guadalajara club and Mexico City's Club America are their nation's two biggest clubs and have a huge following among Mexican communities in cities across the US.
The last time they played in Los Angeles, Chivas drew a record crowd of 92,650 as they took on Barcelona at the Coliseum 12 months ago.
Manchester United played at the Coliseum in a friendly against Club America in July 2003 and the match-up, won by the English club attracted 57,365 a month after Beckham left for Real Madrid.
Chivas and Galaxy return to the stadium this weekend with Coliseum spokesman Jon Lee anticipating another big crowd, expected to reach 60,000,
