Former Liverpool defender Jordon Ibe has revealed that he is currently fighting depression, which has plunged him into a dark place.
Jordon Ibe, who currently plays for Championship club, Derby County, has only featured once for the side under former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.
His last game for Wayne Rooney’s led-side was on December 26. And since then, the England born player of Nigerian decent has not featured for Derby County.

According to the report on Daily Mail, Jordon Ibe has tendered an apology for the incident and has promised to work on himself.
”I want to apologise to all my fans around the world,’ he wrote. I’ve find myself in a dark place, due to suffering with depression.
It’s no scheme for the media or to have my name in your mouths, I just find things hard truly. ”I appreciate all the love and messages from everyone.
Times are hard in general due to this pandemic. I have the full support from my family and Derby County football club.
”I will fix myself and this situation, which I’m 100 per cent committed to. Not only for my family, close friend or my daughter but for me.”
