CARSON, Calif. (AP) -- His coach says David Beckham won't travel with the Galaxy for Tuesday's game with FC Dallas -- due to soreness in his injured left ankle.

Coach Frank Yallop says Beckham has been recovering but still isn't 100%.

Yallop says "the swelling's not bad," but it's the soreness from the scar tissue that is the problem.

Beckham watched from the sideline Saturday night at the Los Angeles Coliseum as Chivas defeated the Galaxy 2-1.

He also missed the Galaxy's 2-1 victory over Pachuca in its SuperLiga opener a week ago.

Beckham has played just 16 minutes, including four minutes of stoppage time, in one game since joining the Galaxy on July 13th.

Beckham turned the ankle in early June in England's 3-0 victory over Estonia.

The coach hopes Beckham will be ready to play August fifth in Toronto.
