EXCLUSIVE: Football icon David Beckham has been admitted to hospital for an operation as his wife Victoria Beckham stayed by his side to support him through the tough time
David Beckham is recovering in hospital after an operation on his wrist which has been causing him pain - but he won't let it get in the way of football. His loving wife Victoria Beckham shared a snap of him lying in bed, with his arm in a sling.
"Get well soon, Daddy," she wrote over the snap of him smiling while wearing a hospital gown. She also gave him a friendship bracelet made with white beads to form 'Get Well Soon'. The couple have yet to reveal what happened to the former England star.
‌
A source close to David confirmed Sir David underwent secret surgery to repair a broken wrist that he sustained 22 years ago - during a friendly football match against South Africa in 2003.
‌
'It had been giving him problems recently and so he wanted to get it fixed,' the source confirmed. They also added that he planned to check out of the hospital soon and 'hoped' to be able to get to Atlanta in time for his Inter Miami football team's next knockout match in the Fifa world Cup against his former club Paris Saint Germain on Sunday.
David's injury comes amid a family feud with eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, have made headlines in recent weeks over speculation of a 'feud' with his family, including his parents David, 50, and Victoria, 51.
Expressing his love for Nicola, whom he tagged, Brooklyn teased in the caption that she's his world. He wrote "my" alongside an emoji depicting the globe. Beside a heart emoji, he also commented over the photo: "My absolute angel."
A few hours later, he returned to his page to share a message to David's mother Sandra in a rare show of love towards his own family. He marked his grandmother's birthday with a post that included a photo of him beside her. Brooklyn wrote: "Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much."
‌
It is thought to have marked him reaching out for the first time to his family on social media. Meanwhile, David shared a gushing post of his own to celebrate his mother's birthday.
He even gave Brooklyn a nod as he refused to give into the recent slew of social media digs and snubs from his son.
The caption of the post also mentioned David's son Brooklyn, despite the pair allegedly falling out. Brooklyn has snubbed many big family occasions in the last few months, with him and Nicola not showing up to celebrate Victoria's 51st birthday or David's milestone 50th birthday celebrations in Paris and London.
They also remained silent since the news that the former England player has finally been awarded his long-sought-after knighthood.
However, the hot sauce enthusiast made sure to wish Nicola's father, Nelson, a happy birthday in a sweet post shared on his Stories this week.
