Football icon David Beckham has undergone surgery to repair a long-standing wrist injury, over two decades after originally sustaining it during his England playing days.
The 50-year-old former Manchester United, Real Madrid, and England captain was pictured recovering in a hospital bed, wearing a blue medical sling. His wife, Victoria Beckham, 51, shared the image on Instagram along with a heartfelt message: “Get well soon Daddy,” sparking widespread concern and well wishes from fans around the globe.
A second photo showed Beckham wearing a friendship bracelet with the words “Get well soon” spelled out in colorful beads — a nod that drew comparisons to Taylor Swift’s popular accessory style.
According to reports, the football star underwent a secret surgical procedure to address severe and “unbearable” pain in the wrist, which traces back to a break he sustained during an England match 22 years ago. The recent flare-up, though not fully explained, is believed to have worsened in recent months, prompting the decision to operate on it.
No official details have been released regarding the exact date or location of the surgery.
The news comes shortly after Beckham was awarded a knighthood in the King’s Birthday Honours list earlier this month — a recognition of his outstanding contribution to football and charity.
Beckham is said to be recovering well.
