Scottish football’s medical chief has warned that the coronavirus pandemic could exacerbate mental health problems among “at-risk” players.
Global players’ union FIFPro last month warned of a sharp rise in the number of footballers reporting symptoms of anxiety and depression since the game was suspended worldwide.
A study in 2015 found that 64 percent of players in Scotland reported that they or a team-mate had experienced issues with their mental health. (Text and photo courtesy Guardian)
