Milan - AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti on Saturday said that former England captain David Beckham would not be starting Sunday's Serie A game against Roma. But Ancelotti said that Beckham, who has joined Milan on a three- month loan deal while his American club LA Galaxy is not playing, is match fit although he has not played a competitive game for two months.

Speaking after Saturday's final training session ahead of Sunday evening's game, Ancelotti said he could envisage a situation whereby Beckham could extend his stay with AC Milan.

"He can make an important contribution," Ancelotti said.
