Lionesses star Chloe Kelly has candidly revealed that she was diagnosed with alopecia last year after suffering from crippling anxiety which left her fearing a heart attack.

The 27-year-old, who captured the nation's attention at last summer's European Championships, has been open about her struggles in the past, particularly during the end of her Manchester City career.

She left the north-west in January to return to Arsenal, claiming at the time that the 'negative behaviour' of some at City had a 'huge impact' on her mental wellbeing.

Now, nearly a year later, Kelly has heartbreakingly admitted that her anxiety became so severe that she didn't want to leave home.
