(Reuters) - All players should take a knee in protest against the death of George Floyd, an American black man who died in Minneapolis after a white policeman knelt on his neck, anti-discrimination body Kick It Out chairman Sanjay Bhandari said on Monday.

Floyd's death on May 25 has sparked unrest across the United States and the imposition of curfews in dozens of cities, with sports professionals also lending their voices in support of the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

"If you score a goal and take a knee could everyone do that? Not just the black players, the white players too, everyone. Every player should do it," Bhandari told the Guardian. Premier League leaders Liverpool's squad was pictured kneeling during training on Monday, with a caption https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1267480682663682051"Unity is strength. #BlackLivesMatter".
