Psychological help 'saved my life'

Tottenham forward Richarlison says seeking psychological help "saved his life" and has urged others with mental health issues to do the same.

He has scored nine goals in his past 13 Spurs games and could reach 50 Brazil caps in upcoming friendly games against England and Spain."We know how prejudiced people are when they say they're looking for help.

In November, he had surgery on a groin injury he had been suffering with for "eight months" and was sidelined for several weeks.
