LONDON, July 4 ― Former England international midfielder Aaron Lennon returned to training with his Premier League side Everton yesterday almost two months after being detained by police for a “stress-related incident”.
The 30-year-old former Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur star ― who won the last of his 21 caps in 2013 ― was photographed in the gym training.
“Fantastic to see Aaron Lennon back at Finch Farm,” tweeted Everton FC Photos referring to the club's training facilities.
Lennon ― who won the 2008 League Cup with Spurs ― was detained by police under the Mental Health Act in early May.
Lennon had not played for the club since February 11th but Everton ― who paid Spurs £4 million (RM22.2 million) in September 2015 for his services ― supported him throughout the time he was treated.
Under the Mental Health Act, police can detain people to assess whether they need urgent treatment for a mental health disorder and if they are a risk of harm to themselves or others. ― AFP
