Footballer James McClean's daughter had to be taken to hospital with what appeared to be a nasty cut to her head.

The Derry man's wife, Erin, took to social media to share the news on Monday.

She shared a photograph of a happy, smiling Mia Rose in an adorable pink tutu with the caption: "Well, our Sunday went from this... chilled, full of smiles to this..." as she shared another photograph of the little girl in hospital with blood on her face and clothes.

The former Derry City winger, who now plays for the club owned by Hollywood pair Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhinney at Wrexham FC, and his wife Erin have four children - Allie May, James Jr, Willow Ivy and Mia Rose. They welcomed their youngest in February 2023.

In the instagram story shared by Erin, the loving mum said: "My poor wain."

Thankfully, she shared another photograph of little Mia Rose looking cosy on a sofa at home with the caption: "But she's ok. Jesus Christ the ordeal. She's actually 100% now though."

Last year, the Republic of Ireland star McClean revealed that he had been diagnosed with autism.

Speaking at the time, he said: "I see so many small traits in her that I see in myself. So I decided to go and get an ASD assessment.

"It's been a bit of a journey and now having a diagnosis I feel it's time to share it, for the week that's in it."

He also revealed his reasons for making his diagnosis public, referring to World Autism Acceptance Week writing: "I have debated for a while going public in sharing this as I've done this for Willow-Ivy, to let her know that I understand and that being autistic won't and should never hold her back from reaching her goals and dreams."
