MLS soccer: Beckham will miss L.A.'s final road game
CARSON, Calif. -- David Beckham will miss the Los Angeles Galaxy's final road game of the season Oct. 18 at Houston because of a mandatory one-game suspension for earning his fifth yellow card.
Beckham was penalized in the first half of the Galaxy's 1-0 loss at Columbus on Saturday. He won't be available for Sunday's home game against Colorado after being called to England's national team for two World Cup qualifiers, so Beckham will have to serve his suspension against the Dynamo.
The Galaxy are 0-2-1 in games that Beckham has missed this season.
Galaxy players Alan Gordon, Brandon McDonald and Greg Vanney also will be suspended if they pick up another yellow card.
Landon Donovan will miss Sunday's game because he's been called up to the U.S. national team for its World Cup qualifier against Cuba on Saturday in Washington, D.C.
