The England players began on Tuesday against Italy before their Euro 2025 semi -finals, when the lioness decided to stop kneeling.
This option stood on the touchline before the kick-off in a show of solidarity with team partner Jess Carter, which is subject to online racist misuse since the tournament begins.
He did not join his Italian counterparts.
Asked if the Italy would have a gesture in the match, Defender Cecilia Salvai said they were “open and ready to do anything necessary”.
The crowd segments at the Stad de Jeenav suggested Carter’s song and appreciated the Defender in the 16th minute, whose squad number 16.
On Sunday, England players announced that they would no longer kneel before the start of the matches, when Carter revealed that he was rapidly abused on social media throughout the tournament.
The decision was questioned by the head of the international inter-disciplinary body of football, the head of the fare.
The lioness adopted an anti -racism gesture in 2016 by American football player Colin Kopernic – during the Euro 2022 and 2023 Women’s World Cup, but said in a statement that it is “clear that we and football need to find another way to deal with racism”.
On Monday, England manager Sarina Wiegman told Dan Roan of BBC Sport: “Taking knee is not enough. We have done for some time. The effect is not quite good, it’s not as big as we think.
“When this form of racism is the form of racism, we felt that we have to do something else, something different, so we are not kneeling.”
Wiegman said that Carter “wants to play and is available,” but the Gotham FC Defender was named among the option with Captain Lia Williamson with the Esma Morgan liked in the central defense.
Talking to ITV before the match, former England striker Ian Wright said that if he was still playing, he felt that the decision to do so was a “personal thing” and a gesture “was always forced” to people.
The winner of Tuesday’s game will either play Spain or Germany in the final on Sunday, June 27, on 17:00 BST.
