Everton winger Aaron Lennon is receiving treatment for a "stress-related illness", the Premier League club said after local media reported the player was detained by police over concerns for his welfare. The 30-year-old England international, who joined Everton from Tottenham Hotspur in 2015, has not featured for the Merseyside club since the goalless draw at Middlesbrough in February.

Earlier last month, Everton manager Ronald Koeman said Lennon was "not in a physical way to be part of the team". "Aaron Lennon is receiving care and treatment for a stress-related illness," the club said in a statement. "The club is supporting him through this and his family has appealed for privacy at this time."
