RIO FERDINAND revealed he would miss Wednesday night’s Champions League semi-final after posting a picture from his hospital bed.
The former Manchester United star would have been on duty for TNT Sports for Arsenal’s trip to Paris.
Ferdinand was seen with a band around his wrist in the photo.
Ferdinand captioned his post: “Gutted to be missing the Semi-Finals this week on @footballontnt!!”
“Wishing the team all the best — I’ll be watching every minute from the iPad!”
TNT Sports replied to the post by saying: “Get well soon, Rio.”
SunSport understands his condition is not serious.
The 46-year-old is a regular feature on TNT Sports’ coverage of European football, whether on commentary or in the studio as an analyst.
He is often a key part of the broadcaster’s commentary team, appearing alongside fellow pundit Ally McCoist and commentator Darren Fletcher.
Ferdinand usually appears on TNT’s coverage of Man Utd games, including his former club’s stunning quarter-final win against Lyon at Old Trafford last month.
Well wishers took to social media to send kind messages to the former England defender.
