England defender and Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi wrote a religious message on his Rainbow armband on Saturday, which appears to break Football Association rules

A Crystal Palace and England defender has received a 'formal reprimand' by the Football Association (FA) after scrawling the message on his match armband.

"I love Jesus" was written on Crystal Palace player Marc Guehi's Premier League-issued LGBTQ+ campaign rainbow armband during a match at the weekend. The Football Association says a formal reminder will avoid the need for disciplinary action as the laws of football ban religious messaging.

Crystal Palace captain Sam Morsy refused to wear the Rainbow armband due to his religious beliefs on Saturday - and the FA have issued a statement on Marc Guehi's actions
