London, Oct.20 : Former England football captain David Beckham will train with the Italian football club AC Milan to stay in Fabio Capello's good books.

According to a report in The Sun, Beckham will train with the San Siro giants in the New Year so he can continue playing for England.

Three Lions boss Fabio Capello will only pick players for April's World Cup qualifier at home to Ukraine who are fit.

Becks' MLS season with LA Galaxy ends next month.

He will join his team-mates on their December tour of Australia and New Zealand - before linking up with Milan in January.

AC coach Carlo Ancelotti said: "I don't see any downside. We will get to know a true champion."

Beckham could play in Italy or Spain after training with AC even though he has three years left on his contract with the Galaxy.
