FURY AS FIFA BAN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND PLAYERS WEARING POPPIES
Why is it banned?
Fifa bans political, religious or commercial messages on shirts and the organisation has the power to deduct points from teams.
A spokesman for the English Football Association said: "We are working closely with the Royal British Legion once again this year to honour and remember the sacrifices made by those serving in the armed forces.
"In recent weeks, the FA has led remembrance discussions with Fifa to allow the England team to show its support for the Poppy Appeal during the World Cup qualifier with Scotland."
One solution could be players having to wear a printed poppy on an armband.
