Aaron Lennon returns to training after treatment

LONDON: 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 ($5.2 million, 4.5 million euros) 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
