David Beckham underwent surgery due to an injury from 22 years ago

Former England midfielder David Beckham has undergone surgery. This is reported by The Sun.

According to the source, the reason for the surgical intervention was a wrist fracture that Beckham received in May 2003 during a friendly match against South Africa (2:1).

Doctors inserted a screw into the Englishman's forearm, which was supposed to dissolve after some time. Because this did not happen properly, Beckham experienced periodic pain, which in recent months became unbearable.

The operation became known only after the wife of the English football legend, Victoria Beckham, published a photo of her husband on a hospital bed on social media with the caption: "Get well, daddy".
