Jordan Henderson’s presence in Saudi Arabia could be “more harmful” to the local LGBTQ+ community, according to a leading gay rights group.
The England midfielder has said in his first interview since his £12million move to Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq that he has been hurt by the criticism he has received and that his views have not changed.
The former Liverpool captain had been a high-profile supporter of LGBTQ+ rights and has apologised for any hurt he has caused by moving to a country where homosexuality is illegal.
