Marc Guehi faces FA charge after writing ‘I love Jesus’ on rainbow armband

MARC GUEHI could be charged by the FA after writing “I love Jesus” on his rainbow bracelet.

The 24-year-old Crystal Palace defender wrote the three-word comment on his captain's armband ahead of his side's clash with Newcastle on Saturday.

The FA's rules allow 'initiation slogans/emblems' but prohibit 'political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images'.

According to ESPN, he could now be charged by the FA as his decision could be seen as “an aggravating factor”.

The rainbow armband is a symbol of support for LGBTQ+ issues in football.

Guehi is a Christian and has spoken about his religious beliefs in the past.

Speaking to The Athletic, he said: 'I grew up loving God and when I've had the chance I still go to church with my family, and my faith is definitely a big part of my life.

“Faith is really all I'm involved in; even in football, where I try to be a role model and show God's grace and glory through my life.”
