David Beckham’s Quiet Hospital Stay Sparks Speculation — Here’s What We Know
His wife, Victoria Beckham, shared a photo to her Instagram story of David on June 27. She wrote “Get well soon daddy” over the photo, accompanied by a heart emoji. In the photo, David is wearing a hospital gown and hooked up to wires, flashing a soft smile at the camera. His right arm is in a blue sling. The following story on Victoria’s Instagram was a photo of David holding a beaded friendship bracelet that spelled out “get well soon.” The picture looked like it was taken outside the hospital, possibly alluding that he was discharged.
He has not publicly addressed his hospitalization, nor has Victoria provided additional details of what landed him there. But, some speculate that it may have to do with an old injury from his soccer-playing days. Beckham recently underwent surgery to fix a wrist fracture he originally suffered 22 years ago during a 2003 international friendly against South Africa. The cast Beckham wore right after the injury even ended up being included on his wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Hong Kong back in 2003, Sports Illustratedshared. But new X-ray revealed that a screw from the initial operation had remained lodged in his forearm and hadn’t dissolved as intended, as the New York Postreported. David has been open about the injuries he dealt with throughout his playing career, admitting he regrets taking multiple painkilling injections-including three in his ankle-just to make it through his final game for Real Madrid in 2007.
