Fans are worried about David Beckham. His wife Victoria posted a photo of the former football star on Instagram, which shows him in the hospital.
In May 2003, the English national soccer team played an international match against South Africa. England won 2-1, but captain David Beckham was injured at the time. He contracted a broken bar in his right hand. Since then, a screw has held the bones together – and recently caused problems.
Because: Beckham is currently in the hospital. His wife Victoria posted a photo of the 50-year-old on Instagram in her story. On the snapshot you can see how the former football star lies in a hospital bed and has his right arm in a blue sling. Dressed with a clinic shirt and visibly exhausted, Beckham still looks into the camera with a slight smile. The wife of the former international posted the photo: “Will quickly get healthy again, dad.”
In addition, she posted a photo of Beckham in her story, which shows the hand of Manchester United’s ex-player. Beckham wears a bracelet of letter beads. The pearls form the words again: “Get well.” According to the English newspaper “Sun”, the injury from 2003 Beckham is said to have recently hurt so much that he now had to undergo renewed operation. The newspaper speculates that the screw could have loosened from the operation at that time and that the pain could have caused.
David Beckham had played a total of 115 games for the English national team and scored 17 goals. In addition, the midfielder ran 394 times for Manchester United.
