For DeAndre Yedlin, deactivating Instagram was another necessary step on a journey to refocus his mind. But as he approaches his 27th birthday next month, Yedlin has learned to recognise when changes need to be made. Yedlin hopes having ‘Black Lives Matter’ on the back of his and his Premier League colleagues’ shirts will go a long way to the education of young people.

Those are the things that are going to help me not just in football but in life, which is priceless.”
