Olise risks UEFA punishment after cheeky antics for coming on as sub against PSG

MICHAEL OLISE could be sanctioned by UEFA for his antics against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

The Bayern Munich star came on as a second-half substitute in the 1-0 win.

But he had a problem with the fourth official, who saw Olise trying to enter the field without wearing shin guards.

The winger then grabbed his shin pads and stuffed one into his right sock.

He then pretended to do the same with his left hand, but quickly threw it behind him toward the dugout when the officials weren't looking.

Olise, 22, could now be investigated by UEFA as Ifab rules require shin guards to be worn.

Ifab Law 4.2 states: “Shin guards – these must be made of suitable material and of appropriate size to provide reasonable protection and covered by the socks.

“Players are responsible for the size and suitability of their shin guards.”

There have been concerns about the downsizing of shin guards in recent years, but Ifab, football's legislature, has no plans to regulate shin guard sizes.

They determined that players – or the parents or guardians of youth players – must take responsibility for their own safety on the field.

A spokesperson said: “Players' legs are all different sizes and there are so many different materials

“Ifab's view is that this is the responsibility of the individual player and not the referee. When it comes to young players, that responsibility is [should be taken by the coach, parents or guardians].”

Bayern's victory puts them back in contention to finish in one of the coveted top eight Champions League places, qualifying them for the next round.

Meanwhile, PSG have slipped out of the play-off places after recording just one win in five games.
