VIVANNE MIEDEMA says she “can’t wait to tell mum we won the league” as the Manchester City forward opened up on the family matter that has been behind her recent absence.

Miedema has missed City’s last two Women’s Super League matches, while her team-mates held up a shirt bearing her name and squad number as they celebrated being crowned champions on Wednesday night.

The 29-year-old revealed this morning that her mother was experiencing “serious complications” after undergoing chemotherapy in her battle against cancer was behind her missing the title run-in.
