FIFA have ordered Granqvist to take them off or he will be hit with a penalty in a row over branding. So the defender will face a heavy fine if he breaks the ‘rule’ again against England.
Granqvist has already been fined £50,000 for wearing them in earlier games but has been threatened with another penalty.
