Marc Guéhi is likely to face punishment from the Football Association after the Crystal Palace captain wrote “Jesus loves you” on his rainbow armband in the game against Ipswich Town on Tuesday night.

The FA had formally contacted the England defender and his club ­earlier on Tuesday after it emerged that Guéhi wrote “I love Jesus” on his armband for the draw against ­Newcastle on Saturday. It is understood that they were reminded of its strict rules about not displaying any kind of religious messages, which are prohibited under Rule A4 of the ­governing body’s regulations.
