England to consider Qatar protest once World Cup qualification is secured

England defender Conor Coady has revealed he and his teammates will discuss how they can use their platform to highlight Qatar's horrendous human rights record after they secure World Cup qualification.

The Three Lions need just a point from their game at San Marino to book their place at next year's tournament, which should prove to be a formality given the minnows have never won a game in their competitive history.

It was reported on Sunday that Qatar are sending migrant workers who have helped with the building of key infrastructure for the tournament away on unpaid leave for five months.

Qatar has been widely criticised for their treatment of workers in the lead up to the World Cup, with the Norwegian, German and Dutch national teams all making high-profile protests.

Coady, who is part of England's leadership committee, said that the Three Lions will discuss how they can voice their concerns once their place at the tournament is finalised.

"Obviously we are seeing quite a lot in the news at the minute - but we've always said that we make sure we do our job first," he said, via the Daily Mail.

"We make sure we try to get to that competition as quickly and as positively as we can and then I'm sure the conversation will be had with the players.

"An incredible thing that comes out of this England squad is that people try to make a difference all the time. People are trying to use that platform. If there is any way players can help, I am sure we as part of the England setup will try to do that.

"At the minute it is tough to speak about it because it is not something we have had a real conversation about.

"Over the next few months it's something we'll have a conversation about, as players, as a team, as individuals and really look at what's going on."
