Embattled footballer, Adam Johnson spends time with daughter as he awaits prison sentence

As he awaits prison sentence, former Sunderland forward, Adam Johnson is spending time with his daughter. He shared the photo of himself hugging his young daughter on his WhatsApp.

The footballer is facing a jail term after a jury found him guilty of sexually touching a minor.
A judge, Jonathan Rose informed him of his impending jail sentence when he returns to court.

“You must understand that when you return here at the end of March you will receive a substantial prison sentence,” the judge informed Johnson in court. You can say goodbye to your daughter. A prison sentence will mean you will not see her for some time.”

The toddler, who is his child with ex-girlfriend Stacey Flounders, is shown in the photo wearing a Sunderland shirt with Johnson's former number 11 and the word 'Daddy' on the back.
