Danny Rose ‘can’t wait to see the back of football’ over racism

Tottenham defender Danny Rose says he "can't wait to see the back of football" due to a lack of action taken against fans' racism.

A racism row has embroiled football after several incidents over the past few weeks. England players were subjected to abuse in their Euro 2020 qualifier in Montenegro and Juventus' 19-year-old Italian forward Moise Kean suffered racist abuse from the stands during a match at Cagliari - with team-mate Leonardo Bonucci's suggestion that Kean was partly to blame called laughable by Rose's England team-mate Raheem Sterling.

Uefa has charged Montenegro with racist behaviour but Rose, 28, does not expect a significant punishment.

The left-back said: "When countries get fined what I probably spend on a night out in London what do you expect?"

Rose, who was also abused while on England Under-21 duty in Serbia in 2012, says he will play on but has "had enough" of racism in the game.

"How I programme myself is that I think I've got five or six more years left in football, and I just can't wait to see the back of it," he added.

"Seeing how things are done in the game at the minute, you just have to get on with it.

"There is so much politics in football. I can't wait to see the back of it."

The Montenegro disciplinary case will be dealt with by European football's governing body on 16 May.

The minimum punishment is a partial stadium closure, while a second offence results in one match being played behind closed doors and a fine of 50,000 euros (£42,500).
