David Beckham has been hospitalised after being left in ‘unbearable’ pain.
The footballer was pictured with his arm in a sling as he recovering in a hospital bed, with wife Victoria, 51, posting a message of support on Instagram.
Alongside a snap of her husband, she penned: ‘Get well soon daddy.’
David, 50, was pictured smiling as he posed with his arm in a blue sling but there was no indication as to how the injury happened.
A second photo showed David with a bracelet which read: ‘Get well soon’.
A source told MailOnline that David underwent an operation to repair his wrist after breaking it during an England game 22 years ago.
Former England captain David broke his wrist in May 2003 in a friendly match between England and South Africa in Durban.
Years later, pain and discomfort in the wrist and scans showed that there was a screw embedded in the wrist which was meant to have dissolved.
After being left in ‘unbearable’ pain, the former footballer had surgery to remove it.
David’s hospitalisation comes after his eldest son Brooklyn proved not all family ties have been severed as he shared a sweet birthday tribute to David’s mum Sandra on Thursday.
The aspiring chef, 26, took to his Instagram page to acknowledge the celebration despite his recent social media silence on his dad’s 50th milestone last month.
Sharing a throwback picture of him and Sandra, he captioned: ‘Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much.’
Brooklyn’s comment comes amid an ongoing family feud which escalated when he and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, snubbed David’s 50th birthday celebrations last month.
Meanwhile David himself paid a special tribute to his mother as she celebrated her birthday – and ensured absent son Brooklyn got a mention despite their widening rift.
The former Manchester United and England midfielder shared a carousel of photos featuring himself with mum Sandra from childhood to the present day as she turned 76.
Taking to Instagram, he wrote: ‘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.’
David rounded off the tribute by including the Instagram handles of various family members, among them younger sister Joanne and the retired footballer’s three sons with wife Victoria – Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.
Daughter Harper, at 13 too young for social media, was given a hashtag as he ended Thursday morning’s tribute.
The post comes in the midst of a growing rift with eldest son Brooklyn and his actress wife Nicola Peltz, who live in the United States.
Sources suggested that Nicola ‘very much enjoys’ Brooklyn’s devotion and that this has been a key factor in the feud with his family.
‘He will do anything Nicola wants,’ one friend said. ‘And that has very much been a thing in the fallout.’
Brooklyn’s youngest brothers Cruz and Romeo also wished Sandra a happy birthday on their social media pages.
‘Happy birthday love you lots,’ wrote Romeo, 22, as he posed beaming next to her.
Meanwhile Cruz, 20, shared a heart-melting shot hugging Sandra and wrote: ‘Happy birthday @sandra_beckham49 I love you lots.’
Earlier in the day, Brooklyn typically had eyes for his lady only as he shared a loved up snap of his wife Nicola as he penned: ‘My absolute angel,’ and called her ‘his world’.
Nicola also shared an Instagram story as she posed for a blurry selfie with her husband, penning: ‘Summer love’.
The gushing post comes after Brooklyn said that marrying Nicola was the ‘best decision ever’ after he was accused of being obsessed with her.
Brooklyn shared a mirror selfie of Nicola posing while wearing hair curlers as he stood beside her and kissed her neck.
‘It’s been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much ❤️,’ Brooklyn wrote.
Nicola also took to social media to mark the occasion, sharing a sweet kissing snap.
