Susannah Townsend: Footballer Jakub Jankto coming out can encourage others to 'be themselves'

Jankto, who plays for Sparta Prague on loan from Getafe, shared his story in a post on Twitter on Monday, saying: "I no longer want to hide myself."

The 27-year-old follows in the footsteps of Australian Josh Cavallo - who came out publicly in 2021 - and Jake Daniels of Blackpool, who is the only current British male player to reveal he is gay.
