Phil Foden's girlfriend Rebecca Cooke gives birth to boy with England star to fly back to Euro 2024 for Slovakia clash

PHIL FODEN and his partner Rebecca Cooke have welcomed their third child.
Rebecca, 22, has given birth to a baby boy with Foden by her side after his temporary departure from the England camp.
Foden, 24, jetted home to the UK from Germany on Wednesday in order to be with Rebecca for the birth.
The FA explained he had left the camp over a "pressing family matter" later revealed to be the birth of his third child.
But now Foden is due to fly back to England's camp in Germany ahead of Sunday's last-16 clash against Slovakia.
He will be back in training on Friday to get himself in contention to start in the crunch knockout tie.
Foden already has two children - Ronnie, four, and True, one, with his childhood sweetheart.
They announced they were expecting their newest arrival back in April.
The pair hosted a Man City blue themed baby shower complete with a bright blue chocolate fountain and an elaborate balloon display.
The loved-up couple met in school and have been inseparable ever since.
Rebecca keeps a low profile compared to other Wags and has her social media accounts private.
However, eldest son Ronnie has a huge following on Instagram.
The youngster has an incredible FOUR MILLION followers on the social media platform with the account run by his mum and dad.
Ronnie was named after Foden's grandfather, who died at the age of 47.
And his granddad's passing is also the reason behind the star's choice to wear the number 47 on his shirt for Man City.
Foden has started all three of England's group games at Euro 2024 against Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia.
He has even been wearing personalised shinpads at the Euros with Ronnie's face on.
Speaking on FA show Lions' Den, Foden explained: "Someone made these for me on Instagram.
"They're my lucky shinpads. I take them everywhere. Hopefully they don't break because I want to wear them the whole of my career."
Fans are still hoping to see more from Foden out in Germany with the Premier League Player of the Season struggling to influence the England side as much as he does at Man City.
