    The 23-time Grand Slam winner posted a picture on the social media app, posing in a mirror with the message: "20 weeks", before deleting it, with her publicist later confirming the news.

    Sunderland manager David Moyes has been charged in relation to comments he made after the game against Burnley on 18 March.

    A Football Association statement said: "It is alleged the Sunderland manager’s remarks were improper and/or threatening and/or brought the game into disrepute, contrary to FA Rule E3(1)."

    Moyes has until 6pm on 3 May to reply to the charge.

    Moyes was caught on camera telling BBC reporter Vicki Sparks she "might get a slap even though you're a woman" and has since expressed his "deep regret" for his response.

    The game ended 0-0 and Sunderland, who play at fellow strugglers Middlesbrough tonight, are bottom of the Premier League.

    It has not been the start to management in Spain that former England captain Tony Adams has been hoping for. 

    Granada lost 2-0 at home to Malaga as caretaker boss Adams suffered his third successive defeat, with his team yet to score a goal since his surprise appointment earlier this month.

    "Nobody wants relegation on their CV. The players need to keep fighting and giving everything," he said. "I need to get the team motivated. We've got to give the fans something to cheer about."

    Granada's results since Adams took over...

    • Sunday, 16 April - Granada 0-3 Celta Vigo
    • Friday, 21 April - Sevilla 2-0 Granada
    • Tuesday, 25 April - Granada 0-2 Malaga
