You will not be seeing the names of English Premier League players on the back of their shirts for the first 12 matches when the EPL resumes as their names will be replaced with ‘Black Life Matters”.
In a joint message from all 20 clubs, players added that they were committed to “a global society of inclusion, respect, and equal opportunities for all, regardless of their colour or creed”.
A Black Lives Matter badge will feature on all playing shirts for the rest of the season alongside a badge thanking NHS staff for their work during the coronavirus outbreak.
