The footballer has secretly suffered the condition for years and has never been seen with his puffer.

He even forced himself to play the final with a bruised ankle bone and needed pain-killing injections.

"I said I would be back with LA Galaxy after hopefully the World Cup and that's not going to change. It is the end of the season and I have to just try and rest it," the Daily Star quoted Becks as saying.

His spokesman added: "David has had a mild form of asthma for years. It's not in any way severe." (ANI)
