David Beckham, who recently made his way to England ahead of the holidays with his family, has parted company from the Beckham childrens and made his way to Milan, Italy for a quick trip. Becks arrived in Milan this morning for a required pre-season medical check-up before attending an AC Milan soccer match later on this weekend, so that he can see his soon-to-be (and very temporary) team in action. Here are a few pics of Becks making his arrival on Italian soil this morning:
David Beckham will get plenty of headlines when he arrives in Milan on Saturday but his new temporary employers will probably be wishing he could take to the pitch against Udinese a day later rather than watching the game from the stands.

And with Andrea Pirlo forced off at half-time during Wednesday’s 2-2 UEFA Cup draw against Vfl Wolfsburg and Gennaro Gattuso out probably for the rest of the season, now would be a good time to blood the former England captain. However, Beckham cannot start playing for Milan until the January transfer window opens and in the meantime, coach Carlo Ancelotti shows no sign of letting up his complaints about injury problems. “This is a difficult time for us because we’ve been decimated by injuries which prevents us from taking to the pitch with the team we want to or from playing our best,” moaned Ancelotti.
Becks sure does seem to have an affinity for struggling soccer teams. You may recall the LA Galaxy was in pretty dire straits in the years before Becks showed up and joined the team. Of course, the team hasn’t really gotten much better since Becks became a Galaxian but … well … that’s beside the point. As much as it pains me to loan out Becks to a new fútbol club (for fear that we won’t get him back in one piece), I do hope that he can help Milan in their time of need. After the jump, check out a couple more pics of Becks in Italy — since it is a very stylish country, Becks decided to whip out the accessories and show ‘em how it’s done …
