David Beckham (50) was spotted in a hospital bed wearing a brace. A photo shared by his wife, Victoria Beckham (51), provides an update on his condition.
According to a report by the British daily 'Independent' on the 27th (Korea time), Victoria publicly shared a photo of her husband David Beckham in his hospital room, along with a message on her personal social media saying, "Get well soon daddy." In the photo, Beckham was smiling with his right arm secured on a blue armrest.
The second photo featured a close-up of a business bracelet inscribed with the words 'Get well soon.'
Beckham's injury site or whether he underwent surgery has not been officially confirmed. However, local media speculate that he may have had surgery to address wrist pain that has persisted since his playing days. Beckham's side has not yet provided a specific statement.
On the same day, the British 'Mirror' provided more details about the background of this surgery. The outlet noted, "The surgery appears to be related to a wrist injury sustained during a friendly match against South Africa in 2003," adding, "At that time, Beckham fell during the match, injured his wrist, and was substituted in the middle of the first half before being taken to the hospital."
The Mirror continued, "A recent X-ray examination revealed that a fixation screw previously inserted in his arm was not properly absorbed and remains there. This surgery is said to be a measure to remove the residual material and correct the wrist function abnormality."
The news of this hospitalization draws more attention following the announcement that Beckham received a knighthood (Sir) on the birthday honors list of the British monarch this year. In a statement at that time, he expressed his overwhelming feelings, saying, "I never imagined I would receive such an honor growing up in East London."
The support from his three children continued. His second son, Romeo, said, "I am proud of dad," while Cruz congratulated his father, saying, "Sir David Beckham... so cool." Brooklyn, his eldest son, who has recently been embroiled in family discord rumors, did not leave any specific comments on the post.
The Beckham family previously shared a video of them singing together on June 15 in celebration of 'Father's Day for All' with the message that "there are no gaps in the family." However, Brooklyn and his wife skipped some family events, leaving room for further speculation.
As a 'star among stars' in the football world finds himself in the hospital, concern among fans has increased. Speculation about the possibility of surgery continues, and interest is growing in what steps he will take after recovering from his injury.
