At the beginning of the week, there were rumors that Chelsea player Ruben Loftus-Cheek had come out of the closet to the other players on the team. So yesterday (17), the player decided to speak out on his Twitter about the matter.
In the tweet he wrote, “Any player who comes out as gay will have my full support and respect. But the rumor is not true.”
Any player who came out as gay, they'd have my full support and respect ??. But the rumor isn't true?
