Los Angeles bound David Beckham could be about to return from exile in to the Madrid squad for the fixture with Real Sociedad. Beckham was banished from the first team having agreed a deal with MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy, manager Capello said he would never play again. Questioning if Beckham could give his all when he had such a large contract with another club.

Beckham’s team mates nearly all spoke out about the situation, backing the former Manchester United winger. Capello appears to have reconsidered the situation, probably as there is pressure from all corners, the fans want to see him, the president Ramon Calderon needs to use his marketing ability while he is still at the Bernabeu.

The biggest factor in the Capello U-Turn has to be recent results, they have lost the last two games against Levante and Villareal causing them to fall behind in the title race behind Barcelona, Sevilla and Valencia.
