The Liverpool squad made a powerful gesture in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement during their training session at Anfield on Monday.
According to Dailymail sport report, Each of the players took a knee around the centre circle, facing the camera higher up in the stand.
A point was made of the stars wearing different versions of the club kits with some decked out in red, others in the away black shirt and a handful wearing training gear.
Georginio Wijnaldum shared the affecting image on social media, writing: ‘Unity is strength’.
It was the first training session Jurgen Klopp’s side have had at Anfield as a team since the season was suspended due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and they chose to stop the session to make a powerful statement.
They are the first Premier League side to offer up a collective act of support for the Black Lives Matter movement but a number of high profile individuals have had their say since the death of George Floyd due to police brutality this week.
Young Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster, who is on loan at Swansea, will be heartened by his side’s show of togetherness having earlier said the movement goes beyond Floyd as he called for a level playing field.
