DILETTA LEOTTA cheered on her partner Loris Karius today as he made his first Premier League start since 2018.
The goalkeeper came in for Newcastle’s clash with Arsenal after Martin Dubravka was forced to miss the trip with illness.

Karius rarely starts for Newcastle as he is the club’s third choice keeper, but did appear for them in last year’s Carabao Cup final.
Dubrvka and Karius are both deputising for England international Nick Pope, who has been ruled out with a long term injury.
Diletta posted a photo of her cheering Karius on to her Instagram story with the couple’s first child, Aria in her arms.
The photo was captioned with “Forza Papi” alongside a love heart emoji.

But it was not a happy return to action for the German as his side were thumped 4-1 at the Emirates.
Diletta is well known as one of the most prominent presenters in Italian football.
