Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson suggested captains of European nations, at both club and national-team level, could come together in a show of unity during the tournament.

He also praised Harry Kane's leadership in highlighting the issue among the Three Lions squad.

"Harry spoke very honestly on it. There's a possibility of doing something with other European countries. I'm sure we will have those conversations," said the 31-year-old midfielder.

"Harry will speak to the other captains across Europe as well. We don't want to rush into it. It's only a few days to digest since we have been briefed.

"As a senior member of the squad, I do take it as a responsibility. Football is for everyone and we will always stand by that."

England captain Harry Kane says he wants to "shine a light" on issues around Qatar, where the 2022 World Cup will be held.

Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar and there are strict anti-LGBTQ+ laws.

There are also concerns about the human rights record of a country that was awarded the World Cup in 2010.

"We know there have been some issues that have happened that aren't right, so it's going to be a mixed emotion [at the World Cup]," said Kane.

Speaking to BBC sports editor Dan Roan, Kane added: "All we can do, and me as a captain, is try to shine a light on those issues.

"The World Cup being in Qatar is definitely shining that light and it's important we try to make as much change as possible, not just for now but for the future as well."

England manager Gareth Southgate has said he is unsure what a boycott of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar would achieve.

The host nation's human rights record has been a recurring subject since it was awarded the tournament.

But Southgate believes withdrawing from the tournament would not help matters.

"I don't know what that achieves - it would be a big story but the tournament would go ahead," Southgate said.

"It's possible, but it's not a decision that the players or myself would make."
