Earring Fiasco: West Ham Debut Denied Over FA Rule

West Ham's new signing Estelle Cascarino was controversially prevented from making her debut for the team because she was wearing an earring.

Despite attempting to cover the earring with tape, the defender could not enter the match due to strict Football Association rules forbidding all jewelry. Former England player Fara Williams described the situation as a "schoolgirl error" for the new signing, highlighting the strict modern game regulations.

The incident occurred during West Ham's match against Chelsea, which they lost 5-0. Manager Rita Guarino expressed confusion, noting Cascarino had previously played in the Champions League with taped jewelry, making the missed opportunity for a player particularly perplexing.
