Danny Rose has revealed he is seeing a psychologist to cope with the mental scars of his nine-month injury lay-off.

The Tottenham left-back is back in the England squad after finally recovering from a knee injury that was originally due to keep him out for a few weeks.

And the defender has admitted he nearly hit rock-bottom during his time away from playing.
