Marc Guehi will not be charged by the Football Association after flouting rules prohibiting religious messages on kits for the second time. Guehi wore a rainbow-coloured captain’s armband against Newcastle on Saturday, with a hand-written message on it which read ‘I love Jesus’.

Marc Guehi has escaped punishment for writing “Jesus loves you” on his captain’s rainbow armband despite being told such slogans were banned after displaying a similar message.

Both he and his club have been reminded of kit regulations, say that the appearance of any religious messaging on clothing, boots or any other equipment is banned under Rule A4.
