David Beckham remains hopeful of playing international football again after speaking to England team manager Fabio Capello.
Last month Capello said the LA Galaxy midfielder was "too old" for a recall before backtracking on his decision.
"He's said if you're playing well and you're fit you can play," said Beckham.
However, 35-year-old Beckham has ruled out a return to Europe on loan therefore limiting his chances of an early England comeback.
If anyone should make it, it must be Beckham. He is the player who has proven the strongest will, and the best profesional attitude I have ever seen. I hope he makes it. Soon!
