England, Wales & other European nations in talks over OneLove armbands at World Cup
due to kick off their World Cup campaign against Iran at 13:00 GMT on Monday, it remains unclear whether the Football Association will drop its plans for Kane to wear the armband.
Chief executive Mark Bullingham has told the BBC that the FA is 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.on Monday. "It is important to us, but equally we need to work through all the discussions right now and see where we end up.
"We're very keen to wear the armband, we want to do it, but we need to consider the implications. Normally, in this kind of situation, there'd be a fine and we've said we'd be prepared to pay that, because we think it's important to show our support for inclusion. "If the sporting sanction threat is real then we need to look at that, step back and work out if there's another way in which we can show our values."
Also speaking on the Today programme, Noel Mooney, the Football Association of Wales chief executive, said it was "seeking clarifications" from Fifa.
