First Published: May 26, 1999

David Beckham received treatment for a thigh problem last night after pulling up in training for Manchester United.

United were going through their final hour long training session last night in the Camp Nou before the European Cup final tonight with Bayern Munich when the star midfielder limped away from a run to receive treatment at the side of the pitch before abandoning the training work out.

The 23 year old was treated for a sore thigh but a groin problem has not been ruled out. He is a key part of the English team's strategy tonight as they attempt to win their first champions trophy in Europe since 1968. Beckham is expected to start in his role on the wide right of midfield and he has been in excellent recent form as United have won the two major competitions in Engl;and.
