Delph missed England's World Cup round of 16 game against Colombia on Tuesday as he was attending the birth of his third baby.

"At 07:52 me, my wife and two beautiful daughters welcomed their baby sister into the world. I can’t put into words the happiness and gratitude I’m feeling... Back to Russia now," Delph posted on his official Instagram page.

The 28-year-old Manchester City player also said that he had experienced "the most amazing 24 hours."

"Watching my brothers come through a tough game both mentally and physically, I kicked every ball and felt every bit of emotion with the players, staff and fans," Delph added.
