| England V Switzerland: 25 Seconds In Black And White For Kick It Out Anniversary by dabblesports(m): 4:16pm On Sep 10, 2018 |
Part of England's friendly fixture against Switzerland on Tuesday will be broadcast in black and white to honour Kick It Out's 25th anniversary. The picture will switch from colour to black and white for 25 seconds as the teams enter the pitch at Leicester City's King Power Stadium. The FA said the idea is to underline the "importance of diversity". Kick It Out chair Lord Herman Ouseley said he hoped it will be a "powerful reminder of how far football has come". England players will show their support by warming up in Kick it Out-branded T-shirts and will enter the pitch alongside eight mascots nominated by the organisation. Paul Elliott, the FA's Inclusion Advisory Board chairman, said: "Kick It Out have been a catalyst for the change in English football both on and off the pitch and we're delighted to celebrate their inspirational work in promoting football for all. "Hopefully the footage will encourage the millions of viewers at home to spend at least 25 seconds thinking about the importance of diversity in this beautiful game of ours." Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli has withdrawn from the England squad for Tuesday's friendly against Switzerland with a minor muscle strain. He picked up the problem in Saturday's 2-1 Nations League defeat by Spain. The 22-year-old will be treated by his club rather than joining the squad at Leicester's King Power Stadium. Manager Gareth Southgate had already brought in Leicester’s Ben Chilwell and Demarai Gray from the Under-21s and has not called up a replacement for Alli. Left-back Chilwell, 21, and forward Gray, 22, could both make international debuts on their home ground. Manchester United defender Luke Shaw left the camp earlier following the concussion he suffered in a nasty collision with Dani Carvajal at Wembley on Saturday. He had reported back to St George's Park for monitoring but was released back to his club after showing no ill effects. England's defeat by Spain was their first match since reaching the World Cup semi-finals in Russia. Source:www.dabbsports.com 1 Share
