Beckham out for six weeks
Berlin - Outgoing England captain David Beckham will be sidelined for six weeks after he hurt his knee and ankle in the defeat by Portugal.
Beckham was substituted early in the second half of the quarter-final, which England lost 3-1 in a penalty shoot-out in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday.
A report said scans showed a tear in his right Achilles tendon and a small "lesion" in the ligaments of his left knee.
Beckham stepped down as captain on Sunday after almost six years in the job in the wake of the Portugal defeat.
His injuries make him doubtful for England's next game - a friendly against European champions Greece on August 12.
Beckham's club, Real Madrid, play a friendly against MLS side Real Salt Lake in the United States on the same day.
