Chelsea became the latest Premier League club to throw their support behind the Black Lives Matter movement on Tuesday.
Players from the London club took the knee during a training session at Cobham in the formation of H for 'human'.
Also, the blues goalkeeper Kepa explained their motivation, following a tweet, 'Enough is enough. We are all HUMANS. Together we are stronger. #BlackLivesMatter'.
Captain Cesar Azpilicueta was one of a group of Blues players who posted the same message on social media, "Enough is enough. We are all HUMANS. Together we are stronger."
The footballers' reaction follows protests and riots across the United States following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Recall that, Floyd, an African-American man, died in police custody last week after an officer kneeled on his neck as he lay on the ground, sparking outrage across the globe.
Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Antonio Rudiger, Billy Gilmour, Mason Mount and Kepa Arrizabalaga were among the Chelsea stars to put the statement on Twitter, alongside the picture of the kneeling players.
