Former footballer and anti-racism campaigner John Barnes has said that systemic racism needs to be addressed in the UK.

When asked to compare racism in the US and UK, he said: “It isn’t like the US in terms of the violence that we may see, but in terms of how impactful it is negatively on the black community, it’s exactly the same.”

He also said the Premier League was “right to return” and that “they will be able to manage the situation”.
