Ipswich Town have released a statement after captain Sam Morsy decided against wearing a Rainbow armband in his side’s Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

From the dates of November 29 to December 5, clubs in the Premier League will show support for LGBTQ+ inclusion by celebrating Stonewall’s 2024 Rainbow Laces campaign.

Across this period, the league and its clubs will showcase the work they carry out year-round to embed equality, diversity and inclusion, with Rainbow armbands being worn by captains across both fixtures.
