Wayne Lineker facing months of rehab after shock diagnosis

Wayne Lineker, the owner of Ibiza’s O Beach club and brother of Gary Lineker, has been hospitalised with "extremely dangerous" pneumonia.
He initially suspected Covid-19 or a heart attack after falling ill on a flight, but was diagnosed with chronic pneumonia after being admitted to hospital.
Lineker spent ten days in intensive care and is now in a respiratory ward, unable to walk, and anticipates months of rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
In a post on his Instagram, the 63-year-old said that he fell ill on a flight from Mauritius to Dubai and could not walk after spending time resting.
Lineker clarified to his fans that he is “out of the danger zone and intensive care” but is facing at least two months of rehabilitation and physio.
