David Beckham is still a major injury doubt for the Los Angeles Galaxy's SuperLiga clash with Mexican giants Chivas Guadalajara on Saturday.
The former Real Madrid midfielder is struggling with a swollen left ankle following ligament damage sustained at the end of Spanish La Liga season.
Having made a late substitute's appearance against Chelsea last Saturday, Beckham missed last Tuesday's 2-1 SuperLiga victory over Mexican champions CF Pachuca.
And although head coach Frank Yallop said the ankle was improving, the former England captain has still not taken a full part in training since his arrival in California two weeks ago.
The 32-year-old missed another practice session yesterday. Whether Beckham plays or not, it will have little bearing on the size of the crowd for Saturday clash with Chivas.
The Guadalajara club and Mexico City's Club America are their nation's biggest two clubs and have a huge following among Mexican communities in cities across the United States.
The last time they played in Los Angeles, Chivas drew a record crowd of 92,650 as they took on Barcelona 12 months ago at the Coliseum.
Manchester United played at the Coliseum in a friendly against Club America in July 2003 and the match-up, won by United, attracted 57,365 a month after Beckham left for Real Madrid.
Chivas and the Galaxy return to the stadium this weekend with Coliseum spokesman Jon Lee anticipating another big crowd, which is expected to reach 60,000.
