Former England captain David Beckham is not guaranteed a starting place for Real Madrid against Real Betis tomorrow, according to the Spanish club’s coach Fabio Capello.

Former England captain David Beckham is not guaranteed a starting place for Real Madrid against Real Betis tomorrow, according to the Spanish club’s coach Fabio Capello.

Beckham has seen his international future put in doubt since giving up the England captaincy following the World Cup.

The former Manchester United midfielder has been left out of the plans of new England coach Steve McClaren.

Capello has admitted Beckham cannot be guaranteed a place in the star-studded Real starting line-up.

Despite scoring Real’s second goal in the 2-0 win over Real Sociedad after starting the last game on the bench, Beckham will have to wait to see Capello’s starting line-up for the Betis game tomorrow.

“I haven’t decided (about Beckham) yet, but 12 men cannot play,” Capello told www.realmadrid.com.

“I rotate my players, so some have to be left out every match. He’s a member of the squad, just like the rest.”
