Premier League captains are set to confirm whether they will continue to take the knee next season — with doubts emerging whether the gesture has the backing of all 20 squads.
Players have backed the anti-racism symbol for more than two seasons, taking a knee before every game since football returned following the first pandemic lockdown in 2020.
Now though some feel as if the gesture needs to be dropped but a final decision won’t be confirmed until early this week, ahead of the new Premier League season. The Mail on Sunday has discovered that club captains met with the Premier League on Thursday to discuss a number of issues including taking the knee.
