Beckham Back In LA

Victoria Beckham, looking quite down in the dumps, returned to Los Angeles last night without her injured hubby.

After flying to Finland last week, where David received emergency surgery on his torn Achilles tendon, Victoria moved her spouse to Beckingham palace in England, where he's currently recuperating.

With David's dreams of playing in the World Cup dashed, we're sure he appreciated having a hot nurse to tend to him while he's laid up.

But with her three children in Los Angeles, Victoria had to leave him behind to come back home.

Although David won't recover in time to play for team England this summer, the good news is he won't be sidelined permanently. Doctors say he should be back on the field in about six months.
