REUTERS - 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. 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. Responding to a call in nearby Salford, the Greater Manchester Police said a man taken to hospital for "assessment" on Sunday. Base Soccer Agency, which represents Lennon, tweeted: "Everyone at Base Soccer sends their support to @AaronLennon12 -- get well soon and stay strong."
