This week, football fans were stunned to hear that Phil Foden had left Germany midway through the Euros 2024 tournament.

The FA confirmed in a statement that the 24-year-old midfielder from Stockport has flown back to the UK for a “pressing family matter” and The Mirror understands he is returning home for the birth of his third child with long-term girlfriend Rebecca Cooke The statement read: “Phil Foden has temporarily left the England camp and returned to the UK for a pressing family matter.”

Foden is hugely proud of his family and roots and putting them first ahead of football. The couple already share two children, Ronnie Foden, 5, and True Foden, 3, and recently shared wholesome photos of their baby shower ahead of the arrival of baby number three.

His son Ronnie recently said on social media that the family were expecting a new arrival. Ronnie, has become a star himself, regularly joining his dad on the pitch for trophy celebrations, posing for photos alongside Erling Haaland and sat on his dad’s shoulders.

Here, we take a look at the reason why Phil decided to tap out of the Euros, his family life, and his thoughts on fatherhood…

Why did Foden leave the Euros?

It is not yet known when Foden will return to Germany but the hope is that he will be back for Sunday’s last 16 and in the build-up to the game.

Foden, who plays his club football for Manchester City, had played for Gareth Southgate’s team against Slovenia on Tuesday. The forward is understood to have left the camp following Tuesday’s match in Cologne, where a goalless draw ensured England finished top of their group.

Southgate’s team aren’t back in action until Sunday, giving the midfielder to return in time for the round of 16 match in Gelsenkirchen. Their opponents for the round of 16 tie will be determined after the conclusion of Group E and Group F on Wednesday. Premier League player of the season Foden started all three of England’s group games. He played the full 90 minutes against Serbia, before being withdrawn in the latter stages of the draws against Denmark and Slovenia.

England will be keen to get him back when time allows because Foden has just enjoyed the best season of his life, winning a fourth consecutive title and being voted Premier League Player of the Year as well as the Football Writers’ Association award.

Earlier this year, proud parents Phil and Rebecca pulled out all the stops for their baby shower party, which featured a flurry of blue and white balloons and a huge LED sign that read ‘baby Foden’. Foden and Rebecca are childhood sweethearts, having their first baby when they were both just 18 years old.

Man City’s midfielder, Phil, reportedly first crossed paths with Rebecca at a teenage party in Stockport. Since then, she has been spotted cheering him on at numerous matches and mingling with England’s WAGs at major tournaments like the Euros and World Cup. Rebecca, believed to be around 24 and also hailing from Stockport, keeps a low profile and hasn’t revealed much about her career.

Fatherhood

On the other hand, Foden is known for his family-oriented nature and shared an endearing reaction to becoming a father for the first time.

He confessed to City’s website: “I was there for the birth. I walked out of the room, gave it a little tear, and then went back in like nothing happened. I’m not one for crying in front of people. I like to be on my own, but I was there in the room, watched it happen and it was a special moment. Your life changes. There’s no free time,” and added that he had “enjoyed every minute of it.”

He credited fatherhood with helping him stay “focused” and told Esquire, which featured him on its 2022 cover: “There’s so much going on out there for a young footballer like myself. The hardest thing is being in bed early and ready to train the next day when there’s all these distractions around. I think that’s where the dedication comes in.”

Phil Foden’s son, Ronnie, is only five but he’s already got a staggering four million followers on Instagram

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola recently opened up about Foden becoming a dad again. At the time, he said he thinks being a father and settling down will help the player’s maturity on the pitch. Guardiola said: “I would love him to go in sixth gear in every single action but afterwards you are less precise, you lose the ball all the time and that is not effective.

“You have to reduce the time so you know the moments when you have to be more aggressive and calm. But it’s a question of time. He can improve a lot and has improved a lot from the beginning of the season and from the previous seasons. Maybe with the third kid that is coming for his family, that will help him.”

Welcome Back Legend: Jamaican Greatest sprinter Usain Bolt anounces His Return to sport after retirement as He widely considered to be the greatest sprinter of all Time…

KIPYEGON RETURNS TO PARIS AMONG CHAMPIONS

Faith Kipyegon will headline a sparkling array of world and European champions in action at the eighth Wanda Diamond League meeting of the season on July 7th, returning to the stadium where she broke the 5000m world record last year.

Kenyan star Kipyegon made history in 2023 as she became the first athlete to break more than one world record in a single Diamond League season. Her 5000m record of 14:05.20 was the second of three, and came just a week after she had broken the 1500m world record in Florence.

Kipyegon’s record was later broken by Gudaf Tsegay at the Wanda Diamond League Final in Eugene, yet the Kenyan still ended the season as Wanda Diamond League champion, claiming her fourth career Diamond Trophy in the 1500m.

She will launch her defence of that title in Paris this year, just a few weeks before targeting a third career Olympic gold in the same city.

The Meeting de Paris will be an Olympic dress rehearsal for many of the sport’s biggest names, with pole vault world record holder Mondo Duplantis and German long jump star Malaika Mihambo both already confirmed to compete at the Stade Charléty.

Kipyegon and Duplantis are among the six reigning world champions on the Paris entry lists, with Ukrainian high jumper Yaroslava Mahuchikh, Dominican Diamond League 400m champion Marileidy Paulino, Serbian long jumper Ivana Vuleta and Bahraini steeplechaser Winfried Yavi also set to compete.

Yavi, who broke an Asian record on her way to the Diamond League title in Eugene last year, will go up against Kenya’s Beatrice Chepkoech, who has held the steeplechase world record since she clocked 8:44.32 at the Monaco Diamond League back in 2018.

Six-time Diamond League champion Sandra Elkasevic (née Perkovic) will be one of several freshly crowned European champions as the Croatian discus star sets her sights on a record-equalling seventh title this year.

Ireland’s 1500m star Ciara Mageean, Polish 400m runner Natalia Kaczmarek and javelin Diamond League champion Jakub Vadlejch will also be hoping to take their European Championship form into the Olympics via the Meeting de Paris.

The Wanda Diamond League is the premier one-day meeting series in athletics. It comprises 15 of the most prestigious events in global track and field. Athletes compete for points at the 14 series meetings in a bid to qualify for the two-day Wanda Diamond League Final in Brussels on 13th-14th September.

Caitlin Clark’s former teammate reveals ‘unrealistic’ expectations star faces
“I think people are really hard on her and expecting her to be perfect.”
Caitlin Clark, Kate Martin
Iowa Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark (22) and guard Kate Martin (20) take questions at Rocket Mortgage Arena, Thursday, April 4, 2024 in Cleveland.
ARTICLESWNBABy Jessica Kleinschmidt on June 25, 2024
The pressure to be Caitlin Clark is insurmountable. Well, to anyone but Caitlin Clark.

Nevertheless, there’s a lot put on the young, rising WNBA star, especially after such an illustrious college career.

Luckily, she has plenty of support around her. Including a former teammate who’s on a similar path.

“I don’t know if there’s too much I can do besides just be a friend, right?” Clark’s former Iowa teammate Kate Martin told FOX 5 Vegas. “Being a listening ear, being there for her and being there for everyone.”

Clark and Martin played together at Iowa for four years where they led the team to a national championship in 2024. The two remain close.

“I mean, Caitlin’s phenomenal, and she is having a great rookie season,” Martin said. “I think people are really hard on her and expecting her to be perfect. That’s unrealistic, right? She’s a phenomenal person. She’s a phenomenal player. I’m going to support her through everything, right? She’s one of my best friends. I’m just there for her.”

Martin also showed up to the 2024 WNBA Draft to support Clark only to hear her name announced with the 18th overall pick. The Indiana Fever drafted Clark first overall.

The duo battled it out this season when the Las Vegas Aces hosted the Fever in May. Martin’s squad won, 99-80, although she described the event as “weird,” but fun as they lived out their dreams.

Their former head coach, Lisa Bluder, was in attendance taking in the game in as well.

Damiris Dantas has been added to the Indiana Fever’s roster.

The Indiana Fever have activated the contract of veteran forward Damiris Dantas, the team announced on June 25.

In order to keep the roster at the maximum requirement of 12 players, Indiana waived rookie guard Celeste Taylor.

The Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year at Ohio State last year and the 15th overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, Taylor was the team’s second selection behind Caitlin Clark, who was chosen with the top pick. The Fever also drafted Leilani Correa out of Florida at No. 27 overall.

The Fever inked Dantas to a multi-year contract in February of 2024 (terms undisclosed). The 6-foot-3 forward promises to provide help for Clark and company both in the post and beyond the arc, as she’s a 34.1% shooter from beyond the arc over her nine seasons in the WNBA.

Fever Cutting Celeste Taylor Isn’t Much of a Surprise

Celeste Taylor was named ACC Defensive Player of the Year (2022-23) and now, Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. An impressive feat.

The 5-foot-11 Taylor appeared in just five games for the Fever this season, averaging 0.6 points, 0.2 rebounds and 0.2 assists in 3.2 minutes of action per contest.

“They always say the easy part is getting drafted, the hardest part is staying. I want to be a player that stays in the league and not just one that makes it for one year or even for a training camp,” Taylor said after getting drafted in April, via Eleven Warriors.

“I think for me, (my focus is on) coming in and learning the business side, understanding everything that comes with it. It’ll be new for me, it’ll be new for everyone around me, trying to enjoy the moments and stay with it and stay with my faith and work hard,” she added.

A standout defender in college, she was won back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year titles in the ACC in 2022 and 2023. Taylor spent two years at the University of Texas before transferring to Duke, where she played for an additional years before using her final year of eligibility at Ohio State.

Over her five-year collegiate career, she averaged 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

What Might We Expect to See From Damiris Dantas?
The 31-year-old Dantas made her WNBA debut in 2014 and has since established herself as one of the best 3-point shooting bigs in the league.

She has been limited by a right knee injury in recent years, last playing for the Minnesota Lynx in 2022. Per the Indianapolis Star, the Brazilian-born Dantas missed the Fever’s training camp in May due to a visa issue coupled with a death in the family.

She’ll join an Indiana lineup featuring starting bigs Aliyah Boston and NaLyssa Smith, along with reserves Temi Fagbenle and Katie Lou Samuelson.

The addition of Dantas to the roster should help Clark in multiple areas, as it’ll give Indiana another threat from downtown. Dantas should also give the Fever more physicality in the paint, which has been an issue for the team at times this season.

“Dantas gives us a WNBA veteran with experience in the post and her international experience in the Olympics will also benefit our team,” Fever general manager Lin Dunn said after signing her. “She will be a tremendous addition on both ends of the floor as well as in our locker room.”

Harry Kane says some underestimate just how good one Manchester City player actually is

Manchester City made history last term as they won the Premier League title for the fourth season in a row.

Pep Guardiola’s charges have won the title in six of the last seven seasons, with only Liverpool breaking that streak back in 2020.

One of Manchester City’s key players in this era has been John Stones, one of the most integral elements of the team over the past eight years.

Since joining the Citizens in 2016, the 30-year-old has made 257 appearances for Guardiola’s high-flying charges.

Stones has lifted all of those six Premier League titles, plus the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup and numerous domestic clubs.

The former Everton and Barnsley ace is also a key player for England, with 75 caps and five major tournaments under his belt.

At times, it still doesn’t feel like Stones gets the credit his deserves, but now he has received some very high praise from one of the best strikers in the world.

Harry Kane says Manchester City’s John Stones is the toughest defender in England training
Bayern Munich striker and England captain Harry Kane has told the England YouTube channel that Stones is the toughest defender he has dealt with in international training.

The former Tottenham man also believes that some underestimate how good his Euro 2024 colleague actually is, and that “many strikers across many leagues” can vouch for him.

“I’ll probably say Stones, to be honest,” Kane said, when asked who he thinks is the toughest defensive opponent in the England training camp.

“I think Stones is really clever. Of course everyone knows how good he is on the ball, under pressure and playing.

“But maybe I think some people underestimate how good he is in reading the game and blocking shots, getting his body on the line, when to be aggressive, when to give space.

“I think he’s grown in that as he’s got more and more experience as well, he’s got better and better.

“Obviously I’ve known Stones a long time as well, but yeah, I’d say he’s the toughest one I play with, for sure.
