 LONDON (AP) - David Beckham's chance of starting for England improved when teammate Aaron Lennon withdrew Sunday from games against Brazil and Estonia because of a knee injury.
The 20-year-old Tottenham winger limped off after 10 minutes of Friday's England "B" victory over Albania. A scan on Saturday ruled him out of an exhibition against Brazil on June 1 at Wembley and the European Championship qualifier at Estonia on June 6, according to the English Football Association.
Beckham was recalled to the England team this week by coach Steve McClaren after being overlooked for nine matches since last year's World Cup.
