Chelsea became the latest Premier League club to throw their support behind the Black Lives Matter movement on Tuesday.

Players from the London club took the knee during a training session at Cobham in the formation of H for 'human'.

Goalkeeper Kepa explained their motivation, tweeting:  'Enough is enough. We are all HUMANS. Together we are stronger. #BlackLivesMatter'.

They joined Liverpool stars, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford in leading the Premier League's stand against racism by producing powerful displays of solidarity following the tragic death of George Floyd.

Unarmed black man Floyd was killed in Minneapolis last week after white police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes.

The shocking incident has sparked days of civil unrest in America and led to protests across the world by demonstrators angry about the brutal and disparate treatment of black people by the police, racism in society and demanding change.
