Raheem Sterling has welcomed the unity shown by the England squad and its staff in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Manchester City forward Sterling, 26 on Tuesday, has led the fight against racism since publicly criticising the media's portrayal of black players last year.
Sterling responded to racist abuse he had received in City's defeat at Chelsea last season with a powerful post on Instagram and has since become football's unofficial spokesperson for equality.
