Brentford players Sergi Canós and Dominic Thompson have been talking to local schools about football's commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The Spanish winger and former Arsenal defender joined more than 500 pupils online for a virtual diversity workshop for the Premier League's Primary Stars project with Brentford FC Community Sports Trust.

The Bees players were quizzed by pupils on the Black Lives Matter campaign, their own personal experiences of feeling excluded and how football can become more inclusive.

Sergi, who was involved in promoting the Trust's Show Racism the Red Card project, said: "In my role as a professional footballer, I know it's important to use my voice to promote diversity and inclusion.

"I hope that by taking part in this workshop I have helped raised awareness of these topics to the next generation."

Both players have already been recognised for their community accolades - Sergi Canos won the PFA's prestigious "Community Champion" award last year and Dominic Thompson took part in a similar workshop last year.

Ruby Lane, Year 5 Teacher at Rabbsfarm Primary School, said: "The workshops were informative and well delivered. They gave the pupils a greater understanding of how and why footballers are supporting the Black Lives Matter campaign."
