The porter and captain of the Blues was questioned on Monday about the famous "One Love" campaign, in support of the fight against discrimination.


With less than two hours before England enter the fray, the behavior that Harry Kane will adopt is in all discussions here in Qatar.

Will he wear the multicolored “One Love” armband, at the risk of receiving a yellow card, a threat brandished by FIFA?

In the meantime, Hugo Lloris has made his choice.

The captain and goalkeeper of the France team will not participate in the slingshot.

“FIFA organizes the competition, defines a framework, rules.

And we players, what we are asked to do is to play football and to best represent our countries in sport.

I prefer to stay within my framework, that of player and competitor.

But indeed, there are different causes which are laudable, which must be supported.

Afterwards, as I said, FIFA decides on the organization.

Denmark will defy the ban

More than supported in his position by Noël Le Graët, Lloris appeared in front of the press on Monday as part of the traditional pre-match press conference.

As a reminder, the France team launches its World Cup on Tuesday (8 p.m. in France) against Australia.

By then, other European selections involved in the One Love campaign will have played.

England, the Netherlands and Wales.

According to

The Guardian

, Harry Kane and the FA would be prepared to reverse their decision to wear the armband should the threat of a yellow card materialize.

Not enough to push back other countries like Denmark.

Christian Eriksen claimed his captain Simon Kjaer would wear him "no matter the consequences".
