Guéhi: Taking the knee may have lost its impact

Manchester City defender Marc Guéhi, who is Black, chose not to take the knee before the Premier League match against Ipswich Town on Saturday, part of the competition's 'No Room For Racism' campaign. Guéhi stated at a Monday press conference ahead of City's Champions League match against AEK Athens that the gesture, introduced in June 2020 to support the Black Lives Matter movement, may have lost its impact. He acknowledged the anti-racism campaign is positive but called for more action, describing racism as a wider societal issue rather than purely a football problem.
