Why Spurs star Harry Kane will wear OneLove armband for England vs Italy amid World Cup message

Harry Kane has said that 'we can only do what we can' in reference to eight European captains wearing armbands with a 'OneLove' slogan on them as a stand against discriminatory laws in Qatar.

The World Cup is set to begin in Qatar in November, and this week further news has emerged surrounding human rights abuses in the country. The Guardian have revealed further alleged mistreatment of migrant workers with all 32 teams set to compete in the tournament which gets underway in just two months' time.

Kane has revealed that he has discussed the issue with Denmark's Christian Eriksen as well as France captain and Tottenham teammate Hugo Lloris, and that he will be joining in making the gesture along with nine other representatives from UEFA.
