Yeah but - if it was something like that then you’d think the club would say.
But they haven’t.
Which then starts nosey people (like me) wondering whether it’s something else like mental health.
And if it is - then the club should say that it is for two reasons really - firstly it’s nowt to be ashamed of - and secondly it would highlight that even the best can suffer from things such as depression and anxiety.

Always surprises me this - we all like to dissect the performances of footballers - often berating them - and then when you come to meet them it comes as a bit of a shock that they are just young kids fresh out of school.
Lots of pressure on young shoulders.
