Michael Keane has revealed he hit "rock bottom" while attempting to cope with form and fitness issues following his big-money transfer to Everton.
The England international moved to Goodison Park from Burnley prior to the 2017-18 season in a deal worth an initial £25 million.
However, Keane soon encountered problems at his new club, suffering a gash during an EFL Cup tie against Sunderland that ended up becoming infected, leading to a spell in hospital.
