Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci has indicated that his team is not planning on taking a knee to protest racism before its European Championship match against Switzerland on Wednesday.

Bonucci says that while the Azzurri are “obviously all against any form of racism and discrimination” that “every federation is free to decide on their own.”

Switzerland joined Wales in taking a knee before their opening match in Group A. Neither Italy nor Turkey took a knee before the tournament opener in Rome.
