England, Wales and other European nations are in talks over whether to proceed with their plans for their captains to wear a OneLove armband at the World Cup in Qatar. The captains of nine nations, including England's Harry Kane and Gareth Bale of Wales, had planned to wear the armband to promote diversity and inclusion. But they have been warned by Fifa officials that wearing the armband would be a breach of its rules and risk a "sporting sanction" for captains, such as a booking.
This week, chief executive Mark Bullingham told BBC Sport that the FA was willing to take a fine, but the feeling within the governing body is that the prospect of a booking and suspension has put players in an impossible position.
