(Reuters) - England's leadership team will discuss whether to take a knee as an anti-racism gesture before Thursday's 2022 World Cup qualifier against San Marino, manager Gareth Southgate said.

The pre-match gesture has been a part of England's Premier League and lower-tier English Football League games since football resumed after the COVID-19 shutdown last June.
