Gareth Southgate says his England players will take the knee before tomorrow's World Cup opener against Iran.

The Three Lions have carried out the anti-racism gesture before their matches since the death of George Floyd in 2020.

They have decided to continue with the gesture during the tournament in Qatar after recent talks.

England will take on Iran at 1am tomorrow.

In other matches tomorrow, Senegal will face Netherlands at 4am, USA will play Wales at 7am and Argentina will take on Saudi Arabia at 10pm.
