Beckham back in training ahead of Barcelona match

MADRID, Mar 30 (Reuters) David Beckham was back in full training for Real Madrid today ahead of this weekend's league match against arch-rivals Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

The England captain had been a doubt for the match after missing team training on Tuesday and yesterday because of a bruised ankle.

Midfielder Beckham sustained the injury when he was kicked on his right ankle in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Deportivo Coruna.

Real, who are 11 points behind Barcelona in second place in the Primera Liga, lost 3-0 to the Catalans at the Bernabeu earlier this season.
