The FA have come to a decision regarding Marc Guehi's message on his rainbow-coloured armband.

All 20 Premier League clubs were issued a rainbow armband for last weekend's matches in support of the LGBTQ+ community.

Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy, however, refused to wear Stonewall's Rainbow Laces-branded armband.

The player's club defended his decision to not wear a rainbow armband during their 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest.

"We proudly support the Premier League's Rainbow Laces campaign and stand with the LGBTQ+ community in promoting equality and acceptance," an Ipswich statement read.

"During this year's campaign, members of the club's men's and women's first-teams visited our Foundation's weekly LGBTQ+ football session, while the club also made a joint pledge of solidarity and inclusivity alongside Nottingham Forest ahead of Saturday's game.

"A range of further initiatives are planned around Tuesday's home game with Crystal Palace, including a takeover of the stadium's big screen in the moments prior to kick-off.

"At the same time, we respect the decision of our captain Sam Morsy, who has chosen not to wear the rainbow captain's armband, due to his religious beliefs.

"We will continue to grow an environment where all are valued and respected, both on and off the pitch."

Guehi has also come under scrutiny for his rainbow armband decision as he wrote 'I love Jesus' on his that opened him up to a potential FA charge.

But the England international, who's a devout Christian, will NOT be charged by the FA, who have reminded him that religious messages are prohibited.

They have decided to contact Palace and the star defender to 'formally remind' them the appearance on, or incorporation in, any of item of clothing, football boots or other equipment of any religious messages is prohibited.

However, he has been issued a 'formal reprimand' but it means that neither Guehi nor Palace will face a charge from the FA.

SPORTbible has contacted the FA and the Premier League.
