The Frenchman came on as a second-half substitute in Bayern Munich’s 1-0 victory over PSG on Tuesday. However, before he could take the field, the fourth official noticed that Olise wasn’t wearing shin guards and instructed him to put some on. Though he complied, Olise discarded the shin guards before stepping onto the pitch.

According to the International Football Association Board’s (IFAB) regulations, all players must wear shin guards, which means the 22-year-old violated the rules and could face punishment from UEFA.

While some have raised concerns about the adequacy of modern shin guards for player safety, with many arguing they are too small to provide sufficient protection, IFAB does not specify a minimum size for the guards.

Bayern Munich were leading 1-0 when Olise entered the game, and the victory secured their position in 13th place with nine points. They are just one point away from the top eight with three matches remaining.

As Olise awaits any potential disciplinary action, he will continue his preparations for Bayern’s upcoming Bundesliga clash with Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
