Marc Guehi writes on rainbow armband again despite FA warning

The Crystal Palace skipper could now be formally charged by the FA.

Marc Guehi wrote on his rainbow armband again, seemingly ignoring a warning from the FA about doing so.

Premier League captains were issued with rainbow armbands for their sides' fixtures last weekend as part of Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign, which runs from 29 November to December 5 and supports LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport.

Players are wearing the armbands again for the midweek games currently taking place in the league, including Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi.

However, the FA issued a warning to the defender on Tuesday after he wrote "I love Jesus" on the armband for Palace's match against Newcastle United.

The FA had told him and the club that religious messaging on the kit is prohibited, but chose not to charge the 24-year-old.

Guehi seemingly ignored the warning though. The England defender once again wrote a message, reading "Jesus loves you" on the armband for his side's trip to Ipswich.

Ipswich captain Sam Morsy refused to wear the armband during the match, just as he had done over the weekend, because of his "religious beliefs."

Speaking after the game at Portman Road, which finished 1-0 to Palace, the Eagles' manager Oliver Glasner urged people to stay "calm" about the issue.

He told Amazon Prime: "Everyone now is about integration, no discrimination and Marc as well.

"We all have the same opinion. We are in sports and in sports we are always against discrimination and any kind of abuse, and Marc as well."

Glasner revealed he had spoken to Guehi before the match, and said the defender is "not a child."

He continued: "He has his opinion and we accept and respect every opinion.

"This is the quote of this campaign, it's being tolerant and Marc is very tolerant so everything is fine."

Guehi could now find himself being formally charged by the FA for his actions.

Rule A4 of the association's kit and advertising regulations states that the "appearance on, or incorporation in, any item of clothing, football boots or other equipment of any religious message" is prohibited.
