‘Get well, daddy’: Here’s why David Beckham was just seen in the hospital
On the mend.
David Beckham fans may have been a tad concerned Friday when his wife Victoria posted a reel of him in a hospital bed.
The ex-Spice Girl’s caption: “Get well, daddy, with no explanation.
Turns out what landed him there wasn’t that serious: Beckham underwent a procedure to fix an old injury.
Surgeons had to remove a screw that had been placed in the retired soccer star’s right arm after a fall that broke his wrist during a game between England and South Africa back in 2003, The Sun reports. The British outlet posted a clip of the painful run-in with Thabang Molefe four minutes into the second half.
The screw was apparently intended to dissolve over time, but did not, causing the father of four considerable discomfort through the years.
In a followup video, Victoria, 51, posted a video of her 50-year-old hubby tending to their garden at their Costwolds compound in the U.K., as per People magazine.
“Overperforming on the cucumber front, Sir David!!!” read the designer’s text over screen, referring to the knight to be’s impending title.
The Inter Miami co-owner was well enough by Sunday to attend the FIFA Club World Cup game vs. his old team, Paris Saint-Germain, in Atlanta.
On Instagram, Becks shared pics from the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium sporting a large bandage.
“It’s fine. It’s an old injury that needed surgery,” he said in an interview with a reporter before the match-up. “It’s all good.”
