Los Angeles: David Beckham is back home in California after surgery on his injured Achilles' tendon.
Beckham was spotted on crutches while attending a practice with the Los Angeles Galaxy. He also was seen out in Los Angeles.
Beckham and his wife, Victoria, kept their children in school in California while the former England captain played on loan at AC Milan in Italy.
The 34-year-old midfielder ruptured his tendon playing for Milan earlier this month. He underwent surgery in Finland last week, and is expected to be sidelined for about six months.
Los Angeles opens the regular season Saturday night against the New England Revolution. The Galaxy reached the MLS Cup final last year.
David Beckham 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 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.
