'England are my salvation' - Danny Rose reveals battle with depression

The left-back has laid bare the personal struggles that have affected him deeply since suffering a knee injury at the start of 2017

Tottenham star Danny Rose has admitted that he is fighting an ongoing battle with depression as he thanked England for taking the chance on him at the 2018 World Cup.

Rose, 27, is considered one of the Premier League's finest defenders, but he suffered a 2017-18 season full of injury setbacks and off-field controversy.

He played just 10 times during Spurs' Premier League campaign and was also fined for criticising his club's transfer policy during the 2017 summer transfer window.
