EPL: Guehi explains why he wrote ‘Jesus loves you’ on captain’s armband

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has defended his decision to write ‘Jesus loves you’ on his Rainbow armband.

According to him, it is a message of “love, truth and inclusivity.”

Guehi avoided punishment for writing on his Rainbow armband again, despite receiving a warning from the Football Association, FA.

The 24-year-old had written “I love Jesus” on it before Saturday’s game against Newcastle.

Not put off by the warning, Guehi wrote “Jesus loves you” on his armband in the 1-0 win over Ipswich Town on Tuesday.

“I think the message was pretty clear, to be honest,” Guehi told Sky Sports.

“It’s a message of love and truth as well and a message of inclusivity, so it speaks for itself.”
