Gareth Southgate has praised Dominic Calvert-Lewin for speaking about about his mental health after the Everton striker posted a heartfelt message on social media on Monday evening.
Following the conclusion of the 2021/22 campaign, which ended in dramatic fashion for the Blues with a 3-2 win over Crystal Palace in their penultimate game, the Blues star addressed what had he admitted had been a difficult term for him. Injury problems severely restricted his game time for much of the season.
However, the striker also addressed off-field issues which had been playing on his mind over the course of the last few months. Calvert-Lewin said he was now in a good place, but there had been tough moments.
