David Beckham health update? Ex-Man United and Real Madrid icon back home after hospital operation

Sir David Beckham is at home and recovering after his recent hospitalisation.

The 50-year-old soccer star recently underwent surgery to repair a broken wrist he suffered over 20 years ago, when playing a friendly for England against South Africa.

He was forced to have surgery this week after a recent X-ray showed a screw that was used to patch up the problem at the time had embedded in his forearm after it didn’t dissolve properly.

However, David is recovering well and has been gardening with his wife Victoria. She shared a video of him checking out the cucumber haul from their garden and wrote: “Overperforming on the cucumber front Sir David.”

In the video, David is casually dressed, with his injured arm wrapped up and encased in a sling. A source previously told The Sun newspaper of Beckham’s injury: “David has been in pain for years but thought nothing of it. He just kept going until, in recent months, it became quite unbearable.

Meanwhile, Beckham was knighted in King Charles’ Birthday Honours earlier this month for his services to sport and charity and declared himself as “incredibly humbled” by the accolade.
