If David Beckham is going to the World Cup, which of Walcott, Lennon or Wright-Phillips gets left behind?

David Beckham's loan move to AC Milan virtually guarantees his place at the World Cup you would imagine.

Milan's medical facilities are up there with the best in terms of looking after ageing players and getting the best out of them.

Which means that, barring injury and having done exactly what Fabio Capello instructed him to if he wants to go to South Africa, he just surely be a shoe-in for one of the two, maybe three slots available on the right of midfield.

It also means that Capello is left with a curious dilemma - whether to leave behind Theo Walcott, Aaron Lennon or Shaun Wright-Phillips. I for one do not envy him.
