Premier League teams 'WILL continue to take the knee before kick off next season' with players 'fully in favour of the anti-racism gesture after powerful impact during Euro 2020'

Premier League players want to carry on taking the knee before the start of matches next season after feeling the gesture's impact during Euro 2020, reports claim.

The anti-racism display has been observed in the English top flight since the end of the 2019-20 season in response to the killing of George Floyd by a white police offer in the United States, but since the return of fans there has been incidents of booing, while other teams across the pyramid have stopped practising it.

But according to the Times, Premier League outfits have agreed that the gesture should continue into the 2021-22 campaign, with players 'fully in favour' of making a stand against discrimination.
