Beckham is facing another layoff
 Beckham recently missed two games with a groin strain. LONDON, England -- David Beckham could be out of action for three weeks after suffering a rib injury during Real Madrid's Spanish Primera Liga 1-1 draw against Barcelona last weekend. The England captain feared a cracked rib but scans revealed severe bruising, the Sun newspaper reported Thursday. "It's causing me a lot of pain," Beckham was quoted as saying. "I really want to play but we'll see how the injury improves. I can't really do gym exercises because every movement bothers me." The injury is Beckham's second in a month. He missed two games after suffering a groin strain against Arsenal at Highbury on March 8. The 30-year-old midfielder also bruised his right ankle in last month's game against Deportivo La Coruna. Beckham was sidelined for five weeks after breaking a rib in a World Cup qualifier against Wales in October 2004. The World Cup finals kick off in Germany on June 9.
