Paris - After undergoing surgery in Finland on Monday which he called a "success", Beckham departed for London Wednesday afternoon with his wife Victoria to begin what could be a long period of rehabilitation.
Already upbeat and getting used to walking with crutches, Beckham has been quick to thank everyone for the messages of support he has received after the injury suffered on Sunday evening.
"I want to thank from my heart all the Rossoneri," Beckham said on the club's official website, www.acmilan.com. "The club, the doctors, my team-mates and the fans.
"I have appreciated so much all the messages I have received after the injury, they are of great help and support."
As far as the World Cup goes, the jury is still out on whether Beckham's absence will leave England lacking.
In all three of his previous World Cup appearances Beckham failed to help deliver the Holy Grail of international football, which England last won in 1966.
David Beckham's enforced absence may allow him to concentrate on helping wife Victoria conceive, and give birth to, a baby girl - if some reports are to be believed.
Britain's Daily Star on Wednesday cited one "pal" of the couple claiming that Beckham is desperate to give the couple's three sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, seven, and Cruz, five, a new sister.
The pal said: "This injury is a nightmare for David, but he is not the kind of man to buckle under the strain. He knows some good must come out of it.
"A baby girl would make their family complete. They are both so excited and have decided: 'Let's go for it!'"
