COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Are you ready for some futbol? Apparently, David Beckham isn't.

The English star is scheduled to make his first appearance for the Los Angeles Galaxy in an exhibition Saturday night against Chelsea. But an ankle injury will probably prevent him playing, he said during halftime of the MLS All-Stars' 2-0 win over Celtic FC on Thursday night.

Hobbled by a nagging left ankle injury, Beckham watched the game in a suit from a suite at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

Beckham sounded doubtful about making his debut this weekend.

"At the moment it doesn't look good that I'm going to play because the swelling is still there," Beckham said. "I'm here for five years. I'm not just here for the game Saturday. It's great that Chelsea is here but I think it's more important to me personally that my ankle is right and I don't think it will be right for the game."
