FA reminds Guehi and Palace of rules over rainbow armband

MARC GUEHI and his club Crystal Palace have been given a formal reminder of the FA’s rules after the England defender wore a rainbow armband with “I love Jesus” written on it at the weekend.

The 24-year-old, who has spoken in the past about his devout religious beliefs, wore the adapted armband in Saturday’s Premier League match at home to Newcastle.

The PA news agency understands Guehi and Palace have now been contacted by the FA reminding them that the appearance on, or incorporation in, any item of clothing, football boots or other equipment, of any religious message is prohibited under Rule A4 of the governing body’s regulations.
