Marc Guehi Eligible for FA Cup Final After Rule Change
Marc Guehi Eligible for FA Cup Final After Rule Change

Marc Guehi is set to be eligible for the FA Cup final with Manchester City, despite having already played for Crystal Palace in the competition this season. This follows a recent rule change by the Football Association.

The defender featured for Palace in the FA Cup earlier in the campaign before his move to City. Under previous regulations, this would have made him ineligible to play for another club in the same tournament.

However, the FA amended its rules, allowing players who have appeared for one club in the FA Cup to represent a different team later in the same competition, provided they have transferred between clubs. Guehi's move to City during the January transfer window now permits him to feature in the final.
