Premier League referees have been told to allow players to show support for Ukraine without receiving yellow cards following Matty Cash's controversial booking last Saturday.
The Aston Villa defender was cautioned after opening the scoring in his side's 2-0 win at Brighton for removing his shirt to reveal a message of solidarity for his Polish international team-mate Tomasz Kedziora, who plays for Dynamo Kiev.
Sportsmail has been told that Cash was booked by referee John Brooks for taking his shirt off however, which is considered to be unsporting conduct under the Laws of the Game, rather than for displaying a political message.
