Danny Rose says he can not wait to retire from international duties with England and is frustrated with the penalty given to fans against racism.

Several England players were racially abused during their Euro 2020 qualifier away to Montenegro.

Europe's football governing body UEFA has charged Montenegro with racist behaviour and the Tottenham defender does not expect a significant punishment.

Rose said: "When countries get fined what I probably spend on a night out in London what do you expect?"

The 28-year-old, who was also abused while on England Under-21 in Serbia in 2012, says he will play on but has "had enough" of racism in the game.

"How I programme myself is that I think I've got five or six more years left in football, and I just can't wait to see the back of it," he added.

"Seeing how things are done in the game at the minute, you just have to get on with it.

"There is so much politics in football. I can't wait to see the back of it."

UEFA will release the punishment for Montenegro on May 16, which could either be a partial closure of their stadium or their matches will be played behind closed doors with a fine of £42,500.

Montenegro coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic denied hearing racist chants but England manager Gareth Southgate said "there's no doubt in my mind it happened - it's unacceptable".

Rose said he had been ready for more chanting in Podgorica last week but he just wanted to get the win and get home from Montenegro.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci has responded to heavy criticisms aimed at him after partly blaming his teammate Moise Kean for the racial abuse he was subjected to by Cagliari fans.

The 19-year-old forward, who scored his side's second goal towards the end of the game, suffered racial attack from the home fans all through the game.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
