• ‘Naive words not meant to be political,’ says England player
Declan Rice has apologised after it emerged the West Ham player, who has been called up by England for the first time, posted apparent support for the IRA on social media in 2015.
The midfielder was then part of an age-group Republic of Ireland team. He posted “up the RA”, short for the IRA.
