Liverpool take the knee in tribute to George Floyd

Premier League players have delivered a powerful anti-racist message in support of those protesting against the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford issued a statement on social media saying society is “more divided than ever” in the wake of the demonstrations in the United States.

And on Monday, many of Liverpool’s players simultaneously posted a photograph of an Anfield training session in which they all took the knee, an echo of the dignified silent protest of American footballer Colin Kaepernick in 2016 which many have since adopted as a symbolic gesture of support.
