Tottenham's Danny Rose worked with psychologist during injury layoff

Tottenham Hotspur left-back Danny Rose has told the BBC that a psychologist helped him deal with his nine-month injury layoff, saying he was struggling with anger and jealousy.

Rose injured his knee at Sunderland on Jan. 31 and he finally returned in a 10-minute cameo at Real Madrid last month before starting in the EFL Cup defeat to West Ham and Spurs' 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.

"I thought I'd be out for a couple of weeks, but weeks turned to months and I really didn't see myself playing again any time soon," the 27-year-old said.
