Football icon David Beckham was taken to the hospital as Victoria Beckham shared an update on social media

David Beckham is recovering in hospital as loving wife Victoria Beckham shared a snap of him lying in a hospital 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.

However, it has since been reported that 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. A recent x-ray reportedly showed a screw, which was used at the time, embedded in his forearm after it failed to dissolve properly.

After the game more than two decades ago, which saw him fall awkwardly, he was substituted early in the second half and was taken to the hospital.

David recently revealed his long-running career left him with multiple injuries and years of “wear and tear”. He said: “Certain parts of my body were a real mess.”

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. Brooklyn and Nicola have failed to show to recent big events with the Beckham clan – including David and Victoria’s birthday celebrations. Meanwhile, he’s also failed to acknowledge or pay tribute to David and Victoria as they marked recent milestones – including Sir David’s recent knighthood announcement.

However, Brooklyn has been vocal on his adoration for his wife. 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. 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.”

He even got a ‘get well soon’ bracelet
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.

David captioned the tribute post: “Happy birthday mum we love you so much I hope u have the best day Thank you for always being there for us all Love you x @sandra_beckham49 @lynnebeckhambriggs1972 @jo_jo_beckham_ @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven.”

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.

“Happy birthday, Nelson, we love you,” he simply wrote.
