Golden Balls will start on the bench yet again this weekend, according to the latest reports.

Milan are preparing for their upcoming clash
against Torino this weekend, and according to
the latest reports, David Beckham is set to start on the bench for the third
consecutive match.
Corriere dello Sport believes that the coach Carlo Ancelotti is keen to field a similar starting eleven from the side that just got over the line against Chievo 1-0 last weekend.
With this in mind, Beckham is a definite to start on the bench, whilst the hero from their most recent outing, Clarence Seedorf, will be given another opportunity to play from the start.
The Los Angeles Galaxy player is contracted to Milan for the rest of the Serie A season, but his playing time has been drastically reduced.
Andrea Pirlo and Massimo Ambrosini will play alongside Seedorf in the midfield, whilst Alexandre Pato, Pippo Inzaghi and Kaka will be utilized in the attacking positions.
The Rossoneri have a few concerns at the back however, as Marek Jankulovski will miss through suspension, whilst his usual replacement in Luca Antonini is out injured.
It is rumoured that Ancelotti will play the veteran Giuseppe Favalli on the left, with Paolo Maldini and Philippe Senderos in the middle, and Gianluca Zambrotta on the right. Dida will obviously take his place in goal once again, after his impressive performance last weekend.
Milan host Torino at the San Siro stadium this Sunday, with the play scheduled to get underway at 20:30 CET.
