The soccer world is reeling from the news -- the injury means one of the world's top players will be sidelined for at least six months, taking him out of the World Cup in June and causing him to miss most of the LA Galaxy's season.

Beckham's doctor, Sakari Orava, told reporters the operation today lasted just under an hour and that it went "very well." Beckham will have to rest for a month before beginning physical therapy and will have to wait at least four months before trying to run.

David posted on his website the solemn statement: "I hope to make a swift and full recovery."

Meanwhile, England's World Cup team soccer coach told reporters the injury was a "big blow" for Beckham, not mentioning how it would impact their country's bid for Cup champion.
