LONDON (Reuters) - The Football Association on Monday said it is investigating crowd-related incidents at Millwall and Colchester United that involved supporters booing players taking a knee during their games on Saturday.

Millwall's Championship (second-tier) home game against Derby County was among the first to see a return of supporters to stadiums since the start of Britain's COVID restrictions in March but was marred by loud booing from 2,000 fans as players took a knee.
