Fabian Delph scraps child birth for survival
FABIAN DELPH is prepared to miss the birth of his first child to aid Aston Villa in their scrap for survival.
This is a crucial part of the season and, if I’m down to play in the games, I need to be playing.
Villa are hovering just a place above the drop zone after Delph’s own-goal denied them three points against Fulham on Saturday.
“We have spoken about it and we know it’s a possibility the birth could happen when one of the games is about to go on,” said Delph.
“But this is a crucial part of the season and, if I’m down to play in the games, I need to be playing.”
