The FA are set to hold talks with Marc Guehi after the Crystal Palace star wrote 'I love Jesus' on his rainbow-coloured captain's armband at the weekend.
Footballers are prohibited from displaying any religious messages on their jerseys or kits.
According to Sky News, Guehi will escape disciplinary action but instead be reminded that religious messages are banned.
It's claimed that Palace will also be contacted to remind them of the laws of the game.

Premier League club captains sported multi-coloured armbands at the weekend to align with the annual Rainbow Laces campaign.
Guehi, who is a devout Christian, has previously spoken about his religious beliefs playing a major role in his football career.
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."
Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy was the only Premier League skipper not to wear the rainbow armband at the weekend.
Morsy has been captain of Ipswich since 2021 and the Tractor Boys defended his decision not to wear the armband due to his religious beliefs.
A spokesperson said: "Ipswich Town Football Club is committed to being a fully inclusive club that welcomes everyone. We proudly support the Premier League’s Rainbow Laces campaign and stand with the LGBTQ+ community in promoting equality and acceptance.
"During this year’s campaign, members of the club’s men’s and women’s first-teams visited our Foundation’s weekly LGBTQ+ football session, while the club also made a joint pledge of solidarity and inclusivity alongside Nottingham Forest ahead of Saturday’s game.

"At the same time, we respect the decision of our captain Sam Morsy, who has chosen not to wear the rainbow captain’s armband, due to his religious beliefs.
"We will continue to grow an environment where all are valued and respected, both on and off the pitch."
Morsy is a practising Muslin and has been capped by Egypt nine times.
