Arena says Beckham will return to Galaxy

CARSON, Calif. (AP) -- Galaxy coach Bruce Arena dismissed reports from Italy that David Beckham could stay with AC Milan beyond his current loan.

"No one ever knows the accuracy of anything," Arena said after practice Thursday. "Everything gets distorted, so we don't concern ourselves with those kind of reports."

Beckham joined AC Milan in December on a loan that ends March 8. He has started four games and scored twice.

"He's going to be back here March 9," Arena said. "We've entered into a loan agreement with AC Milan (in which) the player, his agent, AC Milan, ourselves and Major League Soccer understand the guidelines."
