PARIS: David Beckham will make his Paris Saint Germain debut in next weekend’s Ligue 1 headline clash against Marseille, coach Carlo Ancelotti said yesterday.
The 37-year-old Beckham, who signed a five-month contract with the French leaders last month, will skip today’s trip to Sochaux as he needs more time to get his fitness levels up to scratch, the Italian explained.
“No, he’ll be staying here to work, he needs more training, he’ll be ready next week for the game at home to Marseille..not necessarily to start, but to play” Ancelotti said.
“It’s up to me to decide if he starts the match or not,” said the Italian coach yesterday. AFP
