FA will remind Crystal Palace player Marc Guehi of rules over ...
The Football Association will contact Crystal Palace player Marc Guehi to remind him religious messaging is banned from equipment after a Christian message was added to his captain's armband, Sky News understands.
"I love Jesus" was written on Guehi's Premier League-issued LGBTQ+ campaign rainbow armband during a match at the weekend.
The laws of football prohibit any religious messaging appearing on jerseys.
But the formal reminder would avoid the need for disciplinary action from the FA.
It is understood Palace will also be contacted to remind them of the regulations.

Morsy only captain not to wear armband
The armbands were issued to captains by the Premier League as part of the Rainbow Laces campaign with the LGBTQ+ rights charity Stonewall.
They are due to be worn again during midweek matches - with Palace playing Ipswich Town.
But last weekend, Ipswich's Sam Morsy was the only captain not to wear the armband due to his religious beliefs as a practising Muslim.
The league has not made it compulsory for captains to wear the armband - instead allowing individual players to make their own choice.
