England captain Harry Kane and other World Cup captains would not even have been allowed on the football pitch if they had worn their OneLove armbands during the World Cup, it has been revealed.
England's football team had been planning to wear the LGBTQ+ armband along with six other European teams such as Germany and Denmark at the Qatar World Cup before FIFA threatened to hand out yellow cards to players.
And now, it has emerged that the sanctions would have been much harsher than first thought.

Kane, Wales captain Gareth Bale and the other five skippers would have been prevented from entering the pitch wearing the OneLove armband, it is understood.
It comes after it was revealed that six FIFA officials were sent to the England's football team's headquarters on Monday ahead of their match against Iran to threaten 'drastic sanctions'.
The German Football Association (DFB) claimed earlier this week that England and other teams were faced with 'extreme blackmail' or 'massive sanctions' that led to them dropping the gesture.
Germany protested against FIFA's stance by covering their mouths for a team photo before their match against Japan on Wednesday, to highlight how they felt silenced.
It is unclear what England will do when they face the United States on Friday evening.
