Racial Abuse:  England players are ready to walk off the pitch–Tammy Abraham

England players have agreed to walk out of the pitch if a player is racially abused ahead of their Euro 2020 qualifying matches against Bulgaria and Czech Republic.

Chelsea striker, Tammy Abraham said players are prepared to defy UEFA’s racism protocols if they feel they are inadequate and take it upon themselves to do what is right.

The Three Lions travel to the Czech Republic and Bulgaria for back-to-back Euro 2020 qualifiers this weekend.

The second game, in Sofia, will be particularly scrutinised as the hosts will be playing with the Vasil Levski National Stadium partially closed as a sanction following racism in the home games against both Kosovo and the Czech Republic.

“Yes, we’ve had meetings, several meetings about it since we’ve arrived yesterday,” he said.

“We’ve touched base on how to deal with the situation. Harry Kane even said that if it happens and we’re not happy with it, we speak to the player and if he’s not happy, we all come off the pitch together.

“It’s a team thing. Don’t isolate one person, we’re a whole team. If it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us.

“We did speak about that. Harry Kane did ask the question about instead of going through the three steps, if we decide that we want to stop the game and we want to stop the game – no matter what the score is – if we’re not happy with it, as a team we’ll decide whether or not to stay on the pitch.” If it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us.

England’s players received similar abuse in their qualifier against Montenegro in Podgorica, where they stayed on the pitch and ran out 5-1 winners.
