Dele Alli has revealed he was sexually abused as a child and recently spent time in a rehab facility to receive help for an addiction to sleeping tablets and excessive drinking, whilst speaking on Gary Neville's YouTube channel The Overlap. 📺 Sky 501
Alli said his childhood trauma played a part in his decision to enter a rehab facility for six weeks in recent months."We all have emotions and we think the best thing to do sometimes is to just stuff them down and hide them and lock them away but over time they just build up and it gets to a point where we're human and it breaks and it all comes out and I turned to all the wrong things."A lot happened when I was younger that I could never understand.
"It's probably a problem not only I have, I think it's going around more than people realise in football."I've definitely abused [sleeping tablets] too much. It got really bad at some points and I didn't understand how bad it was but I was never dealing with the root of the problem - when I was growing up, the traumas I had, the feelings I had - I tried to deal with it all by myself," he said.
