Premier League clubs will no longer take the knee before every match, the governing body has confirmed.

The gesture, which started in June 2020 in solidarity for the Black Lives Matter campaign, will now be used in specific moments throughout the forthcoming season in order to "amplify the message that racism has no place in football or society".
