People might think I am confident about going to the World Cup but that's not the case, not at all.

David Beckham has admitted that he fears missing out on a place at the World Cup finals.

The 34-year-old is currently on-loan at AC Milan from Los Angeles Galaxy, a move motivated by his desire to impress Three Lions boss Fabio Capello.

Capello has stuck by Beckham over the last 12-months and he been impressed with the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star.

But the Italian tactician has to whittle down his selection to just 23 in time for the World Cup finals and Beckham knows he is not 'guaranteed' a place on the plane to South Africa.

"People might think I am confident about going to the World Cup but that's not the case, not at all," said Beckham.

"I am not guaranteed to go to South Africa, I have to work hard.

"There are a good couple of months left and plenty of games to play but hopefully I can carry on playing well and get in the squad."
