David Beckham underwent a secret surgery years later due to a broken wrist sustained during a friendly match against South Africa in 2003. His wife, Victoria Beckham, shared a photo of him in the hospital bed, providing the first update on his health. The coldness within the Beckham family did not go unnoticed.
Football legend David Beckham was hospitalized due to a serious injury. His wife, Victoria Beckham, informed her followers about her husband's health status through a post on her social media account.
Victoria shared a photo of David smiling in a hospital bed with his arm in a sling, adding the note "Get well soon, Dad." The famous designer also gifted her husband a friendship bracelet made of white beads that says "Get well soon." However, the couple has not yet made an official statement regarding the incident that led to Beckham's hospitalization.
INJURY FROM 22 YEARS AGO BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT
According to claims in the British press, Sir David Beckham broke his wrist during a friendly match against South Africa in 2003, and the plate placed in his arm during the treatment process at that time had not dissolved over the years. Recent X-rays suggested that the plate is still in Beckham's forearm, and it was claimed that he underwent a secret surgery to have the plate removed.
The star footballer, who lost his balance and fell to the ground during the match in 2003, was taken off the field at the beginning of the second half and was taken to the hospital. In recent months, Beckham, who made statements about his career, mentioned that his long professional football career had caused serious damage to his body. "Some parts of my body had completely turned to ruins," he stated.
COLD WINDS IN THE FAMILY
David Beckham's health issues came just after allegations of tension within his family. His son Brooklyn Beckham (26) and daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz (30) have been in the news recently due to the coldness they have experienced with the Beckham family. It drew attention that Brooklyn and Nicola did not attend the birthday celebrations of both David and Victoria Beckham, and the couple's lack of posts on special family occasions also strengthened the rumors.
