The Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi will not commit any formal action from the Football Association, despite having been fitted with a second armband.
The player and club had been warned against the FA’s kit regulations after wearing it Arm saying “I love Jesus” match against Newcastle on Saturday.
He then wore a bracelet saying “Jesus loves you” against Ipswich on Tuesday night, but it is understood the FA have yet to act.
The club and the player are reminded once again of the adornment regulations, which state that the appearance, or incorporation, of any garment, football boots or other equipment, regardless of religious message, is prohibited under rule A4.
The captains wore the rainbow armbands in the last two Premier League matches as part of the Rainbow Laces campaign, which provides support for the LGBTQ+ community in football and beyond.
The campaign, which he runs in partnership with LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall in the Premier League, ends with the Premier League match on Thursday, so Guéhi will not have to wear the rainbow bracelet again.
The FA will not be involved in the case of Ipswich captain Sam Morsy, who chose to wear the captain’s armband in the last two matches because of his religious beliefs.
Although Guéhi was not punished, his father John, a church minister, criticized the FA for publishing the memorial.
He told the Daily Mail: “Has anyone sinned? I don’t think so. I believe in the Holy Bible, Jesus loves everyone, and I think Mark offended no one in what he wrote.
“Marc said it and he did it well, but people go to him. The FA are happy for the crowd to sing God Save the King when England play, which God and religion remember.
“And these are glad to have a religious hymn, Stay with Me in the midst.” [FA] The final cup, they have not yet gone to my son to express his opinion. Where is the sense in that? What did he do wrong?”
