Which Chelsea star wrote THIS X-rated message on Ruben Loftus-Cheek match ball?
RUBEN LOFTUS-CHEEK took the match ball home after bagging a hat-trick for Chelsea last night - but which star wrote THIS message on it afterwards?
Loftus-Cheek, 22, has played just 33 Premier League minutes this season - and he has started only two games in all competitions.
He is below four other midfielders in the pecking order but took a rare chance to impress by smashing in a hat-trick against Bate Borisov.
The England man took the match ball afterwards and held it under his arm during interviews.
Loftus-Cheek's Chelsea team-mates had signed it with messages such as 'congrats brother' and 'top mate' seen written on it.
But there was one slightly bizarre comment referring to a sex toy penned by one unknown Chelsea star which read 'Yes Rubs, rampant rabbitt!'.
It is unclear who wrote the message.
Maurizio Sarri hailed Loftus-Cheek and revealed he hadn't been playing this season due to a need to improve defensivel.
"We have four midfielders and three of them have the same characteristics," Sarri told BT Sport.
"They are offensive midfielders, only one has other characteristics - [N'Golo] Kante is a defensive midfielder. So it is very difficult to put in the starting XI two midfielders with the same characteristics.
"We have a tactical problem with the midfielders.
"At the beginning of the season he [Loftus-Cheek] was a very good player and now he is a good player that is more suited to my style of football."
While former boss Glenn Hoddle says the hat-trick hero needs to quit Chelsea to become an international star.
Hoddle said: "Some of the stuff Ruben has done is delightful. I just fear for the lad ... he's got to move if he wants to progress.
"He's an England talent and we want to see him playing. I want to see if he can take these performances on to the pitch against the bigger sides.
"Put him up against a Man City or a Liverpool and see what he can do.
"Nobody knows if he can play three games in a row he doesn't know."
Loftus-Cheek added: "It feels good - hopefully there are many more goals to come.
"I just must train well and as hard as I can. If I keep doing that the chances will come.
"I'll get the ball signed and put it in a glass box."
