AC Milan coach Massimo Allegri says David Beckham will not return for a third spell at the Italian club.
Beckham watched Milan draw 1-1 at Arsenal in a pre-season friendly on Saturday but Allegri says that does not mean the one-time England captain will rejoin his former teammates on the field.
Beckham is contracted to the Los Angeles Galaxy but has twice gone on loan to Milan to stay fit during Major League Soccer's off-season.
The 35-year-old Beckham is recovering from the ruptured Achilles' tendon that prevented him from appearing at a fourth World Cup this year.
Asked if Beckham will return, Allegri said: "I don't think so. He is now recovering from a very bad injury and at that age I think it is very difficult to come back."
