David Beckham is pictured for first time in plaster cast after being hospitalised with 'unbearable' pain... as England legend waves to fans ahead of Inter Miami's Club World Cup clash against PSG
has been pictured for the first time wearing a plaster cast after undergoing surgery, as he waved to fans ahead of Inter Miami's Club World Cup clash against Paris Saint-Germain in Atlanta, Georgia, on Sunday.
The 50-year-old was hospitalised last week after being left in 'unbearable' pain and requiring surgery to remove a screw embedded in his wrist from an old injury suffered while playing for England 22 years ago.
Beckham, who co-owns Inter Miami, was seen arriving at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium wearing a blue sling with his right hand encased in a plaster cast, but appeared in good spirits as he smiled and greeted supporters before the match.
It comes just days after wife Victoria, 51, shared a photo of Beckham in hospital recovering from the operation, writing on Instagram: 'Get well soon daddy' as he smiled despite the discomfort.
MailOnline revealed that the former England captain had experienced worsening pain in recent months, with the embedded screw causing severe discomfort before he was forced to undergo surgery last week.
Despite his recent hospitalisation, Beckham made the trip to Atlanta to support his team in one of their biggest games since the club's formation, standing pitchside ahead of kick-off and chatting with staff.
His appearance comes amid a period of family tensions, with ongoing reports of a rift with eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, who did not attend Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations last month.
Beckham, however, ensured his mother Sandra was celebrated on her 76th birthday last week, posting a warm tribute on Instagram and including Brooklyn in the message despite the ongoing family issues.

Kristin Cavallari shocks fans with bombshell claim about her estranged father
Kristin Cavallari claimed that her father once 'traumatized' her son while opening up about their years-long estrangement. The reality TV personality, 38, revealed that she has not talked to her dad Dennis Cavallari in three years since they became estranged. This comes just weeks after she admitted that there is 'not one day where I miss him' and added that the 'best decision' she's ever made was 'cutting him out of [her] life.' 'I always had a rough relationship with my dad,' the Hills alum said while sharing more details about their estrangement on Harry Jowsey 's podcast Boyfriend Material this week. The mother of three also claimed on the podcast episode that her father 'crossed the line with one of my boys.' Cavallari shares two sons, Camden, 12, and Jaxon, 10, and nine-year-old daughter Saylor with her ex-husband Jay Cutler. The fashion designer continued: 'That's a deal breaker for me, especially when he had zero accountability and no apology. 'He traumatized my kids,' she alleged. 'And I have no room for that in my life, and so that was it.' She also discussed how she would handle the situation if it were the other way around, admitting that she sees herself trying to 'do everything imaginable' to make amends. 'To be honest with you, as a mom, if I had a kid and I really f***ed up with my kid and they wanted to cut me out of their life, I would do everything imaginable to not let that happen,' she said. 'I would be like, "I am so f***ing sorry." Showing up at your house, like, doing everything imaginable and my dad in a lot of ways was like, "OK."' She claimed that her dad 'hasn't tried' to mend their relationship and added that their estrangement did not have to do with addiction issues. Cavallari then accused her father of being an alleged 'narcissist,' who has taken 'zero accountability,' before suggesting that he believes she is to blame for their falling out. Cavallari previously opened up about her and her dad's relationship during an episode of her podcast with psychologist Dr. Sherrie Campbell in December 2023. 'I actually didn't even realize that my dad was a narcissist until I was an adult,' she said. At the time, she talked vaguely about the incident that caused their estrangement. 'I can take the abuse. I have my whole life. But it's like, when you start now messing with my kids, I'm not doing it.' Earlier this month, the Wild Cherry actress told People that her father would 'gaslight' her, so she dissolved their relationship. 'I don't have time for that anymore,' she explained. 'If someone's not bringing you joy, if people are only bringing you hurt and sadness and anger, what is the point? Even if it's a parent, life's too short.' While appearing on Bunny Xo's Dumb Blonde podcast in December, she referred to her father as a 'typical narcissist,' and said she turned to drugs and alcohol to cope. 'The only way I found a connection was with my boyfriend. I didn't have a connection at home,' she explained. Cavallari said the break with her dad and her divorce from Cutler have made her stronger. 'I had to get very real with myself about the lack of self-love that I had, and I had to find self-love and build myself up again,' she explained. 'I finally, for the first time in my life, do love myself. I love my life. I've really worked hard to cultivate this peace and this happiness.' The reality star took her own podcast, Let's Be Honest, on the road to film her new docuseries. Episodes of Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour premiere on E! every Wednesday, with streaming available on Peacock the next day.

Donald Trump makes his return to Disney World ride with new speaking role
Donald Trump has made a centerstage return to Disney World's freshly reopened Hall of Presidents - with a new and improved look from his first term. The animatronic political attraction in Magic Kingdom discreetly opened its doors on Sunday morning after being closed for five months. It shuttered on January 20 after Trump was inaugurated into his second term. The display shuts down after every presidential transition so Disney can update the show. Disney World did not announce the well-known display's sudden reopening - leaving both guests and employees confused. Cast members inside the Hall of Presidents' theater on Sunday morning told The Park Place they had no clue the show was returning and only found out when they came to work. Other than Trump's animatronic having a speaking role, no major changes have been made to the mechanized performance. The 20-minute demonstration begins with a narrated history lesson featuring all the country's former commander-in-chiefs, with Joe Biden's robot seen on stage behind Trump. A robotic Abraham Lincoln recites the Gettysburg Address, followed by a speech from George Washington. This time around, those invested in Disney's portrayal of the president have noticed the robotic figure has been upgraded to bear more resemble to the real life Trump The realistic Trump figure, situated in the middle of all the presidents, then gives his oath of office speech while mimicking Trump's hand gestures and mannerisms. He states: 'I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God.' When Trump was elected for his first term, people accused the theme park of creating a Hillary Clinton animatronic and sloppily switching it to Trump after she lost the 2016 election. Critics on pointed out how the robot meant to look like Trump looked far more like Clinton. 'Here (sic) me out on this. Clearly Disney had Hilary's (sic) robot ready to go and then had to try to make it look like Trump,' one user wrote on X, which was Twitter at the time. 'Don't hate me. This is just a necessary and painful fact we all need to deal with.' 'The more I see of Disney's 'Hall of Presidents' Trump, the more I'm convinced they made a Hillary one first and had to redo it,' another user agreed. 'Disney was so sure Hillary would win they just made a Hillary robot for their hall of presidents and when Trump won they just put a trump skin over it and it looks like something straight from hell,' someone joked. This time around, those invested in Disney's portrayal of the president have noticed the figure has been upgraded to better resemble to the real life Trump. 'Damn. I will miss Hilary (sic) Trump,' one person joked on X, as another added 'I guess that's an improvement.' 'AA [audio animatronic] was fixed and looks much much better now,' one man agreed. 'Maybe they could update the animatronic to better look like him. The last one they did was poorly done,' a user, who had not yet seen the new version, asserted.

Players' union accuse Gianni Infantino of overseeing 'MASSACRE' of player welfare from his 'ivory tower' as they launch scathing attack at Club World Cup
French players' union the UNFP has criticised the Club World Cup, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino accused of overseeing a 'massacre' of player welfare. The UNFP claimed that Infantino, watching on from his 'ivory tower', isn't concerned about the impact that the extra games will have on the physical and mental health of players. As reported by the Associated Press, the UNFP said in a statement: 'The incongruity of the situation is not lost on anyone, except, of course, Gianni Infantino and his flatterers. From the height of his ivory tower, which he parades around the world, the FIFA president is not bothered by the fate that the international calendar reserves for the game's leading players. 'His (Infantino's) Club World Cup proves, to the point of absurdity, that it is urgent to stop this massacre game. He flouts the physical and mental health of players for a few more dollars.' Infantino has received much criticism regarding the Club World Cup, with this year's edition expanded to include 32 teams. There have been widespread concerns about the impact that involvement in the tournament will have on players. The comments from UNFP follow on from former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's criticisms of the Club World Cup. Klopp, who now works as the head of global soccer for Red Bull, described the tournament as 'the worst idea ever in football'. Speaking to German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, he said: 'The Club World Cup is the worst idea ever implemented in football. 'People who have never had anything to do with day-to-day business are coming up with ideas. 'I fear that next season players will suffer injuries they've never had before. If not, then it'll happen at the World Cup or afterwards.' Many of the leading clubs in world football, such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, are taking part in the competition, with concerns being raised about how players will be affected in the long term given their lack of rest this summer.
