💨 Abstract

England will not take the knee before their Women's Euros semi-final against Italy due to the racist abuse experienced by defender Jess Carter. Carter confirmed that she has received racial abuse during the tournament and has temporarily left social media. The team stands united against racism, with Lucy Bronze stating that taking the knee is no longer having the desired impact. Manager Sarina Wiegman called on social media companies to combat this abuse, emphasizing that this issue extends beyond football.
