Speaking on racism, Harry Kane would consider leading his players off the field if they were subjected to racial abuse again. He said;

“It’s terrible, it’s unacceptable,” Kane told Sky Sports. “Our players handled it so well, professional and focused on our job and carried on doing what we do best.

“That’s what they’ve done and now it is up to the people in charge to take over and make sure the right action is taken. It’s not acceptable in football or any part of life. The way the fans acted, the people in charge must take the appropriate action.”

Asked directly if England would walk off, Kane added:

“I’m fully supportive of my team-mates. If it happened again and they weren’t happy and wanted to talk about it and they wanted to take a breather, I would fully back them with whatever they wanted to do.

“We’re a team and a unit, we stand behind every one of our players. Hopefully, it never happens again but if it did, I would take their lead on that and whatever they wanted, we would support them.”
