Klopp: I’m not surprised players would be ready to help in this difficult time

Premier League players, for example, will have their names replaced by 'Black Lives Matter' on the back of their shirts for the first 12 matches of the restarted campaign.

A Black Lives Matter logo, along with a badge thanking the NHS, will also feature on their kits for the remainder of the 2019-20 season.

Players and staff from Aston Villa, Sheffield United, Manchester City and Arsenal all knelt prior to kick-off on Wednesday in support of the movement for racial equality.

Meanwhile, Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson helped set up the #PlayersTogether cause in April that sees top-flight players raise funds for NHS Charities Together.
