Adam Johnson is facing a jail term after a jury found him guilty of sexually touching a minor.

Judge Jonathan Rose informed the former Sunderland star 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.”

Johnson shared a photo of himself hugging his young daughter on his WhatsApp.
