MADRID, Spain - David Beckham completed a full training session with Real Madrid on Wednesday, six weeks after spraining a right knee ligament during a league match.

The former England captain, who missed five league games, will be available for Madrid's game with Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Saturday.

Beckham has eight matches remaining before he joins the Los Angeles Galaxy in August.

Madrid still has a chance of winning the title, which would be Beckham's first major trophy since he joined the club from Manchester United in 2003.

Madrid is third in the league with 54 points, five behind leader FC Barcelona.
