Capello: Becks could play at 2010 World Cup
England battles France
"The door is open. He played the last game, and did well against France," Capello was quoted as saying by sports newspaper Marca on Friday. "It depends. There are players who at 33 or 34 take good care of themselves, they understand that the body is not as it was and they take more care. It depends a lot on that."
The Italian coach handed Beckham his 100th cap in a 1-0 friendly loss to France last month. He said he regularly travels to the United States to keep an eye on the former Manchester United player.
Beckham helped guide Real Madrid to a record 30th Spanish league trophy last year under Capello, who also coached Juventus.
But Capello isn't looking ahead to the World Cup just yet after England failed to qualify for this summer's European championship.
"I think we have a good team, but we have to work a little so that everyone understands what I want," Capello said. "We are not thinking about that (the World Cup) at the moment, we have to go step by step."
