The son of former Liverpool defender Glenn Hysen has announced himself as a gay footballer.
Anton Hysen, who plays for Utsiktens BK, made the announcement in a magazine interview.
The 20-year-old told Offside magazine that it was "f***** up" that no other Swedish player had come out yet.
He said: "I am a footballer. And gay. If I perform as a footballer, then I do not think it matters if I like girls or boys."
Hysen admitted that his announcement could affect his career, but added: "People may call me anything they want, it will just make me even more psyched."
Anton's father Glenn joined Liverpool in 1989, and helped the Reds to their 18th league title in his first season. He left the Merseyside giants in 1992.
