England s Euro 2022-winning striker Ellen White has revealed she is expecting her first child.
White retired from football on a high note in August after featuring for the first England women s team to lift a major trophy during this year s home European Championships.
White scored 52 goals in 113 international caps, a record for a Lionesses player and a tally only bettered by Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane (both 53) across England s men s and women s teams.
On Wednesday, the former Manchester City striker posted an image of herself and husband Callum Convery on Twitter alongside the caption Mum and Dad , revealing their child is due next April.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes believes Arsenal are a million miles away from winning the Premier League.
Speaking after Arsenal gave up a lead to draw 2-2 at home against Swansea, Scholes hit out at Mikel Arteta, Santi Cazorla, Tomas Rosicky and Mesut Ozil for lacking the commitment and work-rate to salvage victory from tough situations.
Following on from their 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Chelsea, Arsenal s draw at the Emirates saw them drop to fourth, six points adrift of their London rivals, who sit top of the Premier League.
It s Arsenal fans I feel sorry for because it is the same every year, Scholes said on Sky Sports, where he was working as a pundit.
They get a sniff of the title then they go to Chelsea and do nothing. The fans expect A…
Market: Millwall win
Odds: 3/4 @
Looking to claim a much-needed boost on Wednesday night, Millwall will welcome Rotherham to south London.
Starting with the hosts, marking their return from September’s international break with a nightmare display on home soil, Millwall certainly have the feel of a squad seeking s crucial boost. Eventually blown away in south London as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Leeds, the Lions have struggled to find any kind of stability since opening up the 2023/24 campaign. Despite opening proceedings on August 5th with a 1-0 victory away at Middlesbrough, Gary Rowett’s men have claimed just a pair of Championship victories from their first six attempts. Looking over the shoulder at the drop zone and desperate to kicks…
Iker Casillas thinks Spain have earned the right to fail after dismissing the pressure of trying to win back-to-back FIFA World Cups.
The Real Madrid goalkeeper was part of the World Cup-winning side in South Africa four years ago, as well as the team that triumphed at the UEFA European Championships in 2008 and 2012.
Casillas will also likely be Vicente del Bosque s number one in Brazil as Spain seek to continue their recent dominance in international football.
However, the 33-year-old knows Spain in a group that includes Australia, Chile and the Netherlands are just one of a number of teams with a realistic chance of winning the tournament.
We have a difficult group. In addition, our first two matches are against (the Netherlands and Chile) who, in theory, w…
Hansi Flick s 100 per cent start as Germany head coach came to an end as Steven Bergwijn sealed a 1-1 friendly draw for the Netherlands on Tuesday.
Former Bayern Munich boss Flick took over the reins from Joachim Low in May 2021 and the 57-year-old had overseen wins in each of his eight games in charge before the trip to Amsterdam.
It looked like he would make it nine on the spin when Thomas Muller emphatically slammed home his 43rd international goal before the break.
Louis van Gaal s side had the final say, though, with Bergwijn powering home the equaliser midway through the second half.
JAAAAAAA 0-1

United States coach Jurgen Klinsmann insisted the Football Association (FA) never made contact with him regarding the England job.
Klinsmann was reportedly in the running to replace Roy Hodgson following Euro 2016 before Sam Allardyce was eventually appointed.
At the time England were searching for a manager, Germany general manager Oliver Bierhoff claimed Klinsmann was in discussions with the FA, though the latter denied ever speaking to the governing body.
No, Klinsmann said after being asked if the England rumours were true in an interview with ESPN FC.
Pressed on why he did not deny the rumours, Klinsmann added: If I deny this, now the next rumour comes, and then I deny the next rumour and the next one.
I m not commenting on anything here be…
Real Madrid remain interested in signing Manchester United’s David De Gea despite offering to double fellow goalkeeper Kelyor Navas’ wages, .
The Spanish giants have long been linked with a move to the Spain international, who began his career with their neighbours Atletico but have so far been unsuccessful with their approaches.
During his time with Atleti, he racked up eighty-five appearances in all competitions and was part of the squad that won both the Europa League and Super Cup in 2010.
Since arriving at Old Trafford he has emerged into one of the best goalkeepers in Europe, playing two hundred and thirty-three times and winning both the Premier League and the FA Cup.
Internationally, he has been capped fifteen times for his country and wa…
Sergio Ramos called upon Spain s new generation to recover from their post-World Cup malaise, starting with Thursday s clash against France.
Spain dominated international football between 2008 and 2012, winning two European Championships as well as the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.
However, Vicente del Bosque s men failed spectacularly to defend their crown in Brazil, crashing out at the group stage following defeats to Netherlands and Chile.
Following their exit, many believed that Spain s possession-based style, or tiki-taka as it became known, had been shown up as outdated, with a greater emphasis now on pacy, counter-attacking play.
With the midfield duo of Xavi and Xabi Alonso since announcing their international retirement, Ramos believes it is…
Chris Wood returned from injury with a winning goal, the striker heading in to secure a 2-1 comeback victory for Burnley at home to 10-man Everton on Saturday.
Cenk Tosun s first Premier League goal had put Everton ahead, but the Toffees collapsed to a fifth successive away defeat in the league.
Ashley Barnes scored for the second Premier League game in a row to level after the interval, beating the otherwise impressive Jordan Pickford at his near post.
And half-time substitute Wood came up with the winner, ensuring Sean Dyche s men marked his 250th game in charge with a victory, their first in any competition since December.
Wood was featuring for the first time in 2018 and he headed in a Johann Gudmundsson corner to complete the comeback.

Mark Hughes felt the timing of Arsenal s equalising goal proved pivotal as Stoke City surrendered the lead to sink to a familiar Emirates Stadium loss.
The Welshman saw his side break the deadlock through birthday boy Charlie Adam s penalty, but Theo Walcott levelled matters three minutes before the break.
Mesut Ozil struck only five minutes into the second half and substitute Alex Iwobi made it 3-1 and 15 consecutive home wins for Arsenal over Stoke in all competitions, leaving Hughes to rue the visitors failure to reach the interval with their lead intact.
We stood up to them and maybe conceding the equaliser before half-time lifted them and hurt us more than we thought, he said.
We created a number of good opportunities when in previous years we ha…
