England Under-21s fall to late defeat against Ukraine
England Under-21s suffered a 3-2 stoppage-time defeat against Ukraine in their Euro 2025 qualifier in Slovakia where they had recovered from 2-0 down. Lee Carsley’s side had coasted to a 9-1 win over Serbia at the City Ground last week to sit top of Group F. Ukraine, though, had also picked up maximum points from their opening two qualifiers and proved a much sterner test for the Young Lions, who trailed 2-0 at half-time before Noni Madueke and Charlie Cresswell looked to have salvaged a draw – only for Ilya Kvasnytsya to strike a late winner. England, captained by Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott with Chelsea winger Cole Palmer out injured, created their first clear opening in the 24th minute. A neat exchange saw Jamie Bynoe-Gittens played into the left side of the penalty area and his cutback was stabbed across goal by James McAtee. It proved a costly miss as Ukraine took the lead just after the half hour. England were caught in possession trying to play out from the back and Ukraine swiftly pressed forwards. A ball across from the right dropped through to Nazar Voloshyn at the far post, and he slotted past James Trafford. With half-time approaching, England found space again on the edge of the Ukraine area as Madueke made a smart turn, but the Chelsea forward dragged a low shot wide. Ukraine then doubled their lead with a magnificent free-kick from Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Oleg Ocheretko. Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite was penalised for what looked like minimal contact on Maksim Bragaru out on the right. There did not seem to be the angle for a direct shot – but Ocheretko blasted the ball over Trafford and into the far corner. Following a low-key start to the second half, Carsley looked to inject some fresh life into his side with a triple substitution ahead of the hour mark as Jaden Philogene-Bidace, Liam Delap and Juventus forward Samuel Iling-Junior all came on. England, facing just a third qualifying defeat in 12 years, reduced the deficit in the 67th minute. Hull forward Delap was hustled off the ball at the edge of the Ukraine area, but it fell to Madueke who dispatched a neat finish back into the far corner. Iling-Junior then saw his cross fly through the six-yard box before being touched behind for a corner. England found an equaliser with just a minute left when Leeds defender Cresswell headed in at the far post after a deep cross from Elliott dropped through the Ukraine penalty area. Ukraine, though, snatched victory in stoppage time when substitute Kvasnytsya swept a low shot into the far corner following a quick break – before Delap saw his goal-bound header saved by Ruslan Neshcheret in what was the last action of the game.

Pregnant Jana Kramer shares details of her recent hospitalisation
Jana Kramer has spoken candidly about her recent hospital trip while pregnant with her third child. Over the weekend, the country star posted a health update on Instagram, sharing how the pain in her back led her to a hospital bed. The 39-year-old shared a slew of photos and videos of her in the medical center with the caption: “Well. Our babymoon didn’t go as planned but there were some lessons learned. First off and most important, baby is good.” Kramer made sure to note she and “babymoon” were on the mend after she endured a “bad bacterial infection”. According to the One Tree Hill actor, she travelled to Florida with her fiancé of five months - Allan Russell - while experiencing serious back pain. However, it wasn’t until a fan reached out to her suggesting the pain could be caused by her kidney. In her detailed message, Kramer confessed to being a “hypochondriac” and that she’s been known to self-diagnose, which initally led her to ignore the back spasms. “Not wanting to ruin our babymoon or be sometimes how I can be (slight hypochondriac… and que my closests friends to laugh at slight) [sic] we boarded the plane to Florida,” the “Whiske” artist wrote. “When we landed I just couldn’t handle the pain anymore and I started to feel even more sick so we went to the hospital.” “Long story short it was a bad bacterial infection that got into the kidneys,” she continued. “This resulted in a two-day stay in hospital and antibiotics because I let it get passed where I should have. So. Lesson. Listen to ur body.” Kramer also warned other moms and women about the dangers of not getting their bodies examined by a professional at the first sign of something wrong. “Leaving things for too long or not taking care of yourself when ur not feeling good can become very serious,” she remarked. After she was released from the facility, Kramer and Russell drove to the beach for some much-needed fresh air and scenery. In a follow-up post, the “I Got The Boy” creator said their last-minute excursion to the beach Florida was an “upside” of her health scare. Kramer welcomed her two other children – Jolie, seven, and Jace, four – with her ex-husband Mike Caussin. The two were married from 2015 to 2021, beginning their romance in 2014. Kramer has since alleged that Caussin was unfaithful to her in their marriage more than once. She met her fiancé, Russell, on a dating app earlier this year and the Scottish soccer player waited only six months before asking for her hand in marriage in May. Shortly after, they announced they were expecting their first child together.
