FA rules allow for “initiative slogans/emblems” but forbid “political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images”.
According to ESPN, he could now be charged by the FA as his decision may be seen as “an aggravating factor”.
The rainbow armband is a symbol of support for LGBTQ+ issues in football.
Guehi is a Christian and has spoken about his religious beliefs in the past.
Speaking to The Athletic, he said: ‘I’ve grown up loving God and when I have had the chance I still go to church with my family, and my faith is definitely a big part of my life.
“Faith is everything that I’m involved with, really; even in football, where I’m trying to be a role model and show God’s graciousness and God’s glory through my life.”
