England Tragedy

Aaron Lennon was detained under the Mental Health Act by police over concerns for his welfare. He was 30-years-old when he was taken to hospital "for assessment" after police were called to Salford on Sunday, 30 April 2017. Lennon "received care and treatment for a stress-related illness", his club, Everton FC, said. Greater Manchester Police said: "Police were called at around 4.35pm to reports of a concern for the welfare of a man on Eccles Old Road. Officers attended and a 30-year-old man was detained under section 136 of the Mental Health Act and was taken to hospital for assessment."
News of Lennon's admission led to an outpouring of support on social media from those involved in the game, as well as fans. Everton FC tweeted: "Thank you for all the kind messages for Aaron. We are supporting him through this and his family has appealed for privacy at this time." Lennon's representative, Base Soccer Agency, tweeted: "Everyone at Base Soccer sends their support to @AaronLennon12 - get well soon and stay strong." - BBC News, Wednesday, 3 May 2017
