Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku feels there is a need for football to adopt “stronger positions” than just taking the knee – calling for a players’ summit with social media companies, governments and stakeholders to help combat online racism.

Earlier this week, Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso explained his decision to stop taking the knee before matches, instead continuing to stand and point to the ‘No To Racism’ badge on his shirt as he felt the act has lost some of its impact.
