ENGLAND captain Leah Williamson has spoken of the squad’s commitment to promoting inclusivity ahead of wearing the “OneLove” armband at this month’s cup tournament.

Williamson referred to Czech Republic international Jakub Jankto this week announcing he is gay as she stressed the importance of “standing in solidarity”.

Regarding the anti-discrimination armband, Williamson told a press conference today: “We’re never shy in saying what we stand for. We’re a squad that promotes inclusivity, equality, we obviously have a number of people that feel very strongly about it. I think it’s not even a question for us really.
