Daddy Delph back after baby dash

Midfielder Fabian Delph reflected on a whirlwind week after he dashed back to England for the birth of his new daughter and returned to play on the winning side in the World Cup quarterfinal against Sweden on Saturday.

The Manchester City player (pictured) was a late substitute in the 2-0 victory over the Swedes in Samara, coming on in the 77th minute to replace goalscorer Dele Alli. England manager Gareth Southgate gave the go-ahead for Delph to leave the camp before Tuesday’s tense last-16 victory over Colombia on penalties.
