Former England Captain David Beckham has reportedly been injured in a car crash.
The 39-year-old was said to have been involved in an incident after picking his son from the Arsenal training ground this morning, according to the daily telegraph.
The 15-year-old Brooklyn plays for Arsenal’s under-16 side and had been playing against Brighton’s under-16s at London Colney in Hertfordahire.
The crash involved one other vehicle, with one young player claiming David Beckham was injured though not serious. Father and son were understood to have been in an Audi at the time.
One of Brighton’s youngsters tweeted : “ just seen David Beckham looks like he got in a car crash and hurt his shoulder.”
Team-mate Thomas Cadman thought the whole episode was utterly surreal, tweeting: ‘weird to play against Brooklyn earlier. Even weirder to be currently stuck behind David Beckham as he has crashed his car.’
Brooklyn was signed by Arsenal on a short-term contract in November. His brother, Romeo, 12, and Cruz, nine, have also been playing for the club’s underage teams.
David Beckham’s eldest son was wanted by both Manchester United and Chelsea, but after showing his skills at the Gunners’ training ground, he was quickly snapped up until the end of the season.
