Wayne Lineker Back in Hospital After Severe Second Pneumonia Attack, Set to Spend Christmas There

Doctors are investigating antibiotic failure with possible IV therapy next.

Overview

  • He relapsed four days after discharge and was taken back to hospital by ambulance while being cared for at home by his son.
  • He still has pneumonia as clinicians run scans and blood tests to understand why previous treatment has not worked.
  • Early results suggest no cardiac issue, with a possible immune‑system link following his recent sobriety.
  • He says doctors may switch to strong intravenous antibiotics and steroids if the immune‑related cause is confirmed.
  • Earlier this month he described a near‑death ICU stay and surgery to clear lung pus, and he has received public support from family and celebrity friends.
