London: Former England international midfielder Aaron Lennon returned to training with his Premier League side Everton on Monday 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 (Dh19 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.
