LA Galaxy cancel Australia friendly

Los Angeles Galaxy has been forced to cancel a friendly in Australia, due to David Beckham’s loan move to AC Milan.

The MLS side was due to play against Queensland Roar on December 11.

But Beckham is not interested in playing the match as he does not want to risk injury ahead of his move to the Serie A.

A Galaxy statement read: “To avoid disappointment for the many fans that were expected to travel to Brisbane from all parts of Australia for this event, it was decided to postpone this game before tickets went on sale.

“Fans with tickets as a result of a priority pre-purchase this week will receive a full refund.

“We are very hopeful that we will be able to re-schedule the game in Brisbane in the near future and will make this a priority for our organisation.”
