FIFA insist discussions are still ongoing regarding captain's wearing rainbow "OneLove" armbands at the Women's World Cup this summer - despite claims they could be banned.
Players were stopped from wearing the armbands at the men's World Cup in Qatar in the winter with threats of punishments and the same policy could be in place in Australia and New Zealand in July.
The German FA has raised the issue with FIFA during a World Cup planning workshop. Reports in Germany from Bild subsequently claimed FIFA were banning the team from wearing the armbands.
