Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi could face disciplinary charges after his statements during last weekend's 1-1 draw against Newcastle.
Last weekend, all premier league captains were required to wear rainbow-colored armbands in support of LGBTQ inclusivity, and Crystal Palace and England star Marc Guehi was one of the captains required to do so.
The Eagles, who have had a disappointing campaign, drew 1-1 with Newcastle on Saturday and both Guehi and Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes spotted Rainbow armbands.
The initiative was first launched in 2013, with clubs required to have rainbow corner flags, and captains wearing rainbow armbands as well as laces to support and encourage the LGBT+ community.
However, while Guehi complied, the 24-year-old could now face a charge from the FA after writing 'I love Jesus' on his captain's armband.

Guehi was not the only player with a flashpoint regarding the armband this past weekend.
Ipswich captain Sam Morsey received backlash for choosing not to wear the armband.
