James McClean's wife Erin sends Ireland star birthday message as he turns 32

Ireland international James McClean's wife Erin has sent him a birthday message today as he celebrates his 32nd birthday.

The pair met in Derry back in 2010 and got married in 2016 - and have three children together.

And Erin took to Instagram as the Stoke City winger celebrates the big day with his family, she said: "Happy birthday my Jimmy. My soulmate & best friend. Love you more than ever and thankful for you everyday".

McClean is currently sidelined as herecovers from a heel injury, something Stoke boss Michael O'Neill reckons he aggravated on Ireland duty last month.

Earlier this month, O'Neill said: “The only (new) injury we have is James McClean. He hasn’t been able to train since Monday. Clearly he aggravated the heel injury that he went with on international duty. He’s not been available and won’t be available until we remedy that situation.”

He added: “It’s difficult to assess but it’s too sore to train at this minute in time. That would suggest the process we went through medically, we’ll probably have to restart that, but it’s too early to make that assessment.

“I don’t envisage James will be fit again this season.”
