Amnesty International are hopeful England players will join the growing protests urging Qatar to consider labour reforms ahead of the 2022 World Cup. A study, released by The Guardian last month, reported at least 6,500 migrant workers have died since Qatar was named as the chosen 2022 World Cup host a decade ago. It follows Norway and Germany players making similar stands in their own World Cup qualifying matches on Wednesday and Thursday last week. Southgate: FA, Amnesty International remain in talksEngland manager Gareth Southgate says talks between the FA and Amnesty International are ongoing after the organisation wrote to England's governing body last year urging them to put pressure on FIFA over the situation. "In terms of the situation in Qatar, the FA are working closely with Amnesty International and will be talking with Qatar as well," Southgate said.
