Burnley forward Lyle Foster will temporarily be unable to assist his team in the upcoming English Premier League matches due to the decision to suspend his career. The club's press service reported this.

The unexpected decision is due to mental health issues, prompting the 23-year-old South African to seek help from specialists. Currently, Foster is under the care of professionals providing him with the support and care necessary for a full recovery.

According to statistics, every fourth resident of England faces mental health issues annually. According to PFA data, more than 75% of footballers have experienced various mental health problems.

It's worth noting that this season, Foster played 8 matches for Burnley, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists. Burnley, by the way, lost to Arsenal yesterday.
