Former skipper set for landmark
England manager Fabio Capello has confirmed that David Beckham will win his 100th international cap against France on Wednesday.
The former captain missed Capello's first match as coach against Switzerland last month due to concerns over the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder's sharpness.
But he has been recalled for the friendly with France in Paris and is set to become the fifth player to reach a century of appearances for England.
Asked whether Beckham, 32, will start the game, Capello told
Sky Sports News: "I've yet to decide, though I have made my decision.
The future
"He will play (some part), I could not possibly make him come from the USA and not play him.
"I know David Beckham and what he can give me and I think he can make the difference in some respects. I know what he can give to a team.
"As for the future, we will have to see. Nobody knows what the future holds."
Capello added: "I think every player would like to reach this target (100 caps) but very few manage it so you have to give David Beckham credit, he has done really well to achieve this."
