PSG latest asset, David Beckham, will join his teammates in Spain as they prepare to take on Valencia for the first leg of UEFA Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Carlo Ancelotti insists that Beckham will not play a part in tonight Champions League match. However, he has hinted that the former England captain may be available for this weekend France Ligue 1 match against Sochaux.

It is the first time that  meet Valencia in European competition.

The former Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and LA Galaxy midfielder was accompanied by PSG’s assistant sporting director Olivier Letang.

He looked relaxed and jovial in civilian clothes, while a team of security officers kept a close eye on the global megastar.

Barriers around the perimeter of the hotel kept journalists and fans at bay as Beckham joined his teammates, although he will play no role in the match other than to watch from the stands and support the team he joined on the eve of the transfer deadline.

Beckham who has been training in London with some of the PSG coaching staff, was in New York last weekend, where he attended a fashion show organised by his wife and former Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham.

“He will start work with the team and we are going to see what his physical condition is like for possibly the match against Sochaux,” said Italian head coach Carlo Ancelotti.

“There is no major issue, he just needs to improve his physical condition.”
