  • Jason Sudeikis wore a sweatshirt with their names at the "Ted Lasso" second season's premiere.

The Hollywood actor Jason Sudeikis has shown his support for the English soccer players Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho after the trio were racially abused.

The "Ted Lasso" star was attending the premiere of his show's second season on Thursday night when he was pictured wearing a black sweatshirt with the first names of the players printed in white.

"Jadon & Marcus & Bukayo," the shirt said.

The trio, who are all Black, were racially abused on social media after missing penalties during England's defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.

Their teammates and England manager Gareth Southgate have since come out in support of the trio, saying: "It's just not what we stand for."
