"It would be a fantastic signal if every club took a knee before the games. You can't shake hands before the kickoff, so maybe it can be replaced by this," said Kick It Out president, Sanjay Bhandari, to PA.

The ban on pre-match greetings is one of the recommendations imposed by the Premier League for the competition to resume on June 17.

Following the death of American citizen George Floyd at the hands of the police, numerous protests have taken place around the world.

Several Premier League clubs, such as Liverpool and Chelsea, have shown their support for this anti-racism fight by taking a knee before training sessions.

In Germany, where official matches are already being played, players such as Jadon Sancho, Achraf Hakimi, and Marcus Thuram also paid tribute to Floyd with gestures during the match and messages on their shirts. EFE
