Everton winger Aaron Lennon is receiving treatment for a stress-related illness, the club has confirmed.
Lennon, 30, joined the Toffees from Tottenham in 2015 after a successful loan spell but hasn't featured since the draw with Middlesbrough on February 11.
He was again left out of the matchday squad by Ronald Koeman for Sunday's defeat to Chelsea.
A club statement read: "Aaron Lennon is currently receiving care and treatment for a stress-related illness.
"The club is supporting him through this and his family has appealed for privacy at this time."

"Officers attended and a 30-year-old man was detained under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act and was taken to hospital for assessment."
