Michail Antonio has shared that he is undergoing therapy after falling out of love with football to the extent that the West Ham star once hoped that he would be sidelined with injury.
The 34-year-old joined the Premier League side nine years ago on the heels of a meteoric rise from non-league side Tooting & Mitcham United, after stints at Reading, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest.
But despite having a lasting spell in the English top-flight, Antonio increasingly felt a strain on his mental health prompted by his divorce from ex-wife Debbie Whittle.
