Following months away from the pitch as he recovers from injury, it looks like David Beckham is easing himself back into the game... with the help of his three sons.

After taking his boys to the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, the 35-year-old was spotted enjoying a kickaround with them in a Los Angeles park yesterday.

While graciously letting his sons get more ball possession, it looks like the midfielder is well on the way to building up his fitness ahead of his return to LA Galaxy next month.

Becks revealed over the weekend he was eyeing a return to LA Galaxy in September after an encouraging appointment with his doctor.

When October was mentioned, he said: 'Two or three weeks before that. It's just about getting strength back in my calf.'

Beckham was heartbroken when he was forced to pull out of the World Cup after tearing his Achilles tendon when he was on loan from Galaxy to AC Milan in March.

Fans are hoping he will be ready to rejoin Galaxy in time for their game against the New York Red Bulls on September 24, with their new acquisition Thierry Henry.

But in the meantime, Beckham looked content to be spending quality time with his sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, seven, and Cruz, five, yesterday.

Young Romeo was showing his family pride by wearing his dad's Galaxy shirt with Beckham and number 23 written across the back.

Meanwhile, Beckham openly gushed of his admiration for his wife Victoria backstage at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday.

He said: 'She’s an amazing mother. I think when you see a woman willing to immerse [herself] in the children and become this amazing person with the children, now that’s one of the most attractive things about Victoria and about anyone.'

The Beckhams have only just returned to California this month after spending most of the summer at home in England.

The family also enjoyed a holiday in the south of France following David's return from South Africa, where he was supporting the England team during their disappointing World Cup appearance.
