England defender Danny Rose has revealed he has had depression, which he says was triggered by a combination of injury and family tragedy.
The Tottenham full-back, 27, disclosed his illness in a frank interview with several national newspapers.
“It’s no secret that I’ve been through a testing time at Tottenham this season,” said Rose.
“It led to me seeing a psychologist and I was diagnosed with depression, which nobody knows about.”
He added: “I haven’t told my mum or my dad, and they are probably going to be really angry reading this, but I’ve kept it to myself until now.”
