Ruben Neves watched his wife give birth on his PHONE on coach back from Crystal Palace game last week as he couldn't get to Portugal to be there in person... as he reveals he still hasn't seen family because 'it's my job' and he doesn't want to miss games

Ruben Neves revealed he watched the birth of his third child on his phone on the coach back after Wolves played Crystal Palace last week.

With his wife in Portugal, the midfielder has not been able to see his family as travelling there would have meant missing matches due to the quarantine rules in place.

Instead he was on FaceTime with his wife after staying on the bench during the Crystal Palace game, but it's a sacrifice Neves has accepted and told WolvesTV it's just part of the job.
