'Nothing changes' - Leicester duo Maddison & Chilwell say a gay player would be welcome in Foxes dressing room

The duo expressed their support for the LGBT community ahead of this weekend's Rainbow Laces campaign

Leicester City stars James Maddison and Ben Chilwell have expressed their support of LGBT footballers, saying that nothing would change if one of their team-mates was to come out as gay.

Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign, which takes place over the weekend, is designed to create LGBT-inclusive sports environments in which each individual truly feels part of the team.

And Maddison and Chilwell, who expect to be part of a Foxes side that will face Aston Villa in Birmingham on Sunday, are wholehearted supporters of the event.
