The EFL has hailed the “proactive” approach towards racism taken by Millwall and QPR ahead of Tuesday night’s Championship match at the Den.

Millwall announced on Monday that instead of taking a knee for the fixture, players will link arms in “a show of solidarity for football’s fight against discrimination.”
