Psychologist treating Ashley Cole
by Harry Oldfield
Football star Ashley Cole was visited by a psychologist this weed after management at Chelsea FC apparently became concerned over his mental state.
According to newspaper reports, an expert was flown to meet Cole in France under instructions from the club owner Roman Abramovich.
It is believed that Abramovich had been concerned after reports that the footballer came across as miserable and depressed at the sports clinic where has been receiving treatment for a broken ankle.
But Cole allegedly had a change of mood after hearing that he was to be assessed by the psychologist. He is said to have shaved for the first time in days and trimmed his hair to make a good impression.
One source said that the first day the psychologist arrived at the clinic, Ashley was in a completely different frame of mind. He had smartened himself up and was trying to be serious and sensible.
Cole has faced immense media scrutiny in recent days following the separation of his wife Cheryl over alleged infidelity.
Confirming that a psychologist was sent to visit the sportsman, a spokesman for Chelsea said it was a very normal procedure. The Football Club have a duty of care to all players and regularly send members of their medical team to help them get fit, especially for those who are undergoing longer treatment.
