The player in question was featured on the front of the club's matchday programme during the LGBTQ+ Rainbow Laces campaign period for two seasons in a row, according to The Athletic, leading to his concern. Captains will not be asked to wear rainbow armbands and players will not have to wear pride-themed warm-up tops or rainbow laces. Despite being reminded of kit regulations, Guehi chose to write a new message - 'Jesus loves you' - ahead of Palace's 1-0 win at Ipswich in the following match. I do believe in what the Bible says, Jesus loves everyone, and, in my opinion, Marc did not offend anyone with what he wrote. Meanwhile, Manchester United ditched plans to wear rainbow jackets for their warm-up ahead of their 4-0 win over Everton after devout Muslim player Mazraoui chose not to wear it.
