The Football Association (FA) is gathering evidence and conducting an inquiry into the tragic death of Maddy Cusack, a Sheffield United midfielder, after her family requested a new investigation. Cusack's death in September sent shockwaves throughout the sport and left her family heartbroken. They have raised concerns about the emotional distress she suffered, which they believe was linked to the appointment of Jonathan Morgan as her manager. Allegations have surfaced that Cusack was labeled a 'psycho' by a Sheffield United coach. The case has also brought to light broader issues regarding mental health support systems within football, with surveys indicating that many players might be reluctant to discuss mental wellbeing concerns. The situation raises questions about the adequacy of support networks in place for players across the #BarclaysWSL, #BarclaysWC, #PremierLeague, and #EFL. A special report by @DTAthletic on the matter is available with no paywall for the full story.
