The report worried England's defender Danny Rose so much that he asked his family not to travel to Russia to watch his game.
"That's Danny's choice and how he wants to deal with it," Loftus-Cheek commented on his teammate's decision.
He concluded by saying that he was satisfied with the living conditions in the hotel and the training area. "In our spare time we play Xbox and table tennis," he said.
The World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will take place across 11 Russian cities, with the final game hosted at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on July 15.
