Read our privacy policy Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi will face no formal action from the English Football Association despite defying its rules for a second time by writing a religious message on his uniform during a Premier League campaign celebrating LGBTQ+ inclusion. Guehi and Palace were contacted by the FA and reminded of English soccer's kit regulations after he wore a rainbow armband with “I love Jesus” written on it for a Premier League match against Newcastle on Saturday. Ipswich said Morsy, a practising Muslim, made the decision “due to his religious beliefs.” The Athletic reported Wednesday that Manchester United abandoned plans for its players to wear training tops in support of the LGBTQ+ community ahead of the Premier League game against Everton on Sunday after defender Noussair Mazraoui declined to join the initiative. “Players are entitled to hold their own individual opinions, particularly in relation to their faith, and these may sometimes differ from the club’s position.” United captain Bruno Fernandes wore the rainbow armband for the match.
