Harry Kane held up an England shirt ahead of the their World Cup qualifying match against Poland in tribute to Dylan Rich, a 17-year-old footballer who died on Sunday after collapsing during an FA Youth Cup game.
Rich collapsed during a match between West Bridgford Colts and Boston United in Nottingham last Thursday, suffering a suspected cardiac arrest. He was treated with a defibrillator on the pitch but suffered another suspected cardiac arrest in the ambulance on the way to Queen’s Medical Centre.
The Football Association said in a statement that everyone was “deeply saddened by the tragic news” of Dylan’s death. “We send our deepest condolences to his family, friends and everybody at the club at this very difficult time,” the FA said.
Kane raised the shirt during the pre-match photo in Warsaw, which displayed the words “For Dylan”.
