Major League Soccer franchise Los Angeles Galaxy take on their Mexican foes CA Morelia in a CONCACAF Champions League game at The Home Depot Center on Wednesday, September 28.
David Beckham missed the first game 2-1 defeat to the same team and will now sit out the home game due to suspension over yellow card accumulation.
Although the Mexican outfit was a strong contender for three points at home, the Galaxy presented themselves as a tough competitor and knocked the back of the net twice, though, one goal was chalked off for offside.
David Beckham’s absence was one of the main reasons behind the defeat. The player was back at home nursing a heel injury. For the MLS outfit, Irish import http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robbie-Keane-c31215 struck in the 51st minute to give Los Galacticos a lead.
Beckham will not be sporting the Galaxy jersey in the upcoming home game because of the yellow card he received in the last CCL game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/LD-Alajuelense-c39776. The Galaxy lost that match 1-0.
The midfielder has received two bookings in three CCL games. His reckless approach towards the game has now resulted in his absence for the most important Champions League game this season.
Beckham missed the first encounter against Morelia due to an injury and his accumulated yellow cards will keep him sidelined for the second game.

But according to him, the team has suitable replacements for the superstar midfielder.
“We’ve got a number of guys that can do a good http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684,” he said. “They’ll be ready.”
