TURKU, Finland, Mar 17 (AP): David Beckham and his wife Victoria left Finland on a private jet Wednesday, two days after the former England captain had surgery for a torn Achilles' tendon.
The couple made no comments, and it wasn't immediately clear where they were heading. Beckham will be sidelined for about six months and miss the World Cup in South Africa.
Beckham's doctor, who had said they likely would travel to London and later to the United States, said Wednesday he "had no idea where they are flying to."
Dozens of fans jostled and shouted as the two got into a van outside the clinic in Turku, Finland, where the 34-year-old Beckham had surgery on a torne left Achilles' tendon. He was injured while playing for AC Milan on Sunday and underwent surgery on Monday.
