Recent news
that Aaron Lennon is being treated
for a stress-related illness has prompted key figures in football to have their
say on the issue. There has been a huge show of support for Lennon with many
saying it is a bigger problem than some realise and that wealth and fame are
not a cure.
Tottenham
manager Mauricio Pochettino says the
club are in contact with Lennon's agent and his family and will do all they can
to help. He said “It was someone who
played here for nearly 10 years and of course Tottenham care about him. The
players, the staff and everyone here cares about his situation.”
Players,
managers and pundits have taken to Twitter to show their support including
England and Leicester striker Jamie
Vardy and some of Lennon's former teammates including Ledley King and Jermain
Defoe.
Leon Osman spent two seasons at Everton with Lennon and he
said “The problem is identifying the
people who need help. Players tend to keep things to themselves. But things are
changing within football and it's more accepted to come and get help if you
need it and that has to be the way forward.”
