CARSON, Calif. (AP) - David Beckham will miss the Los Angeles
Galaxy's final road game of the season October 18th at Houston
because of a mandatory one-game suspension for earning his fifth
yellow card.
Beckham was penalized in the first half of the Galaxy's 1-0 loss
at Columbus on Saturday. He won't be available for Sunday's home
game against Colorado after being called to England's national team
for two World Cup qualifiers, so Beckham will have to serve his
suspension against the Dynamo.
The Galaxy are 0-2-1 in games that Beckham has missed this
season, scoring just twice and being shut out twice.
Galaxy players Alan Gordon, Brandon McDonald and Greg Vanney
also will be suspended for the game in Houston if they pick up a
yellow card against Colorado.
Landon Donovan will miss Sunday's game because he's been called
up to the U.S. national team for its World Cup qualifier against
Cuba on Saturday in Washington, D.C.
