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.
