Struggling Parramatta star Kieran Foran will return to the field for the Eels’ crunch match with Melbourne on Monday night according to coach Brad Arthur.

Foran was recently whisked away to a mental health centre after the breakdown of his relationship with his partner.

“His doctor thinks that what is best for him now is to get back into playing football,” Arthur told Sky Sports Radio’s Big Sports Breakfast.

“He’s going to need some ongoing treatment. He will go back on Tuesday and then we’ll go into the Newcastle game and then we’ve got a bye.

“So that should give him a fair bit of time to continue his treatment.”
