Dele Alli’s recent appearance on Monday Night Football sparked admiration from fans as he bravely shared his mental health battles. The Everton midfielder, sidelined by a season-long muscle injury, reflected on his challenging journey, including childhood trauma and a stint in rehab for a sleeping pill addiction.
Speaking on Sky Sports’ MNF, Alli expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support he received: “The reaction and support that I got was obviously overwhelming. It was amazing to see how many people that did help and I’m definitely very proud of it.” Despite a challenging season, Alli remains hopeful and eager for a return to the pitch, stating, “It’s been tough but it’s a journey I’ve been on and I’m enjoying it and just waiting to get back now.”
Fans took to social media to commend Alli’s courage, with one writing, “Seeing Dele Alli on #MNF talking about his mental health, I really do think he’s showing money isn’t everything.” Alli’s appearance also benefited Everton financially, as his participation in the show means the club avoided paying Tottenham a fee as part of his transfer agreement, saving them £10 million.
