    Sutton United have re-signed striker Osman Foyo on loan for the rest of the season from AFC Wimbledon.

    Foyo was on loan at the club earlier this season and made two appearances in November, but his stay was ended after he was handed an additional suspension by the Football Association for breaching betting rules.

    He subsequently served three months of a five-month ban, with two months suspended for 24 months, which will only be activated if a further breach of betting rules takes place.

    The 21-year-old was part of the AFC Wimbledon side that won promotion at the end of last season to League One, making 10 appearances.

    This is the third year the EFL have used the rainbow ball campaign

    Puma's Rainbow ball will return to the English Football League as part of an on-going campaign against discrimination and homophobia.

    The special edition rainbow ball was introduced in 2024 to mark LGBTQ+ History Month and will be used at every EFL game from 20 February until 1 March.

    Manufacturers Puma will make a donation to Football v Homophobia for every goal scored with their rainbow ball across the Championship, League One and League Two.

    The donations will help support education against homophobia and promote inclusion across the season.

    The EFL have released a video, external to coincide with the campaign which features a Preston North End fan who was charged with a hate crime following homophobic chanting during an FA Cup fixture against Chelsea.

    The rainbow ball will also feature in EFL partner EA Sports' FC 26 video game.

    "The rainbow ball is a powerful symbol of the values we uphold across the EFL all season long," EFL chief executive officer Trevor Birch said.

    "It not only reflects our longstanding commitment to ensuring the League is representative of all its diverse communities, but also reminds us that we all have a role to play in creating an environment in which everyone feels they truly belong."
