Eagle eyed gamers have noticed a key difference in Chelsea star Jadon Sancho’s likeness on EA FC 25.
The latest installment of the series will officially go on sale on Friday across various consoles.
Fans who bought the ‘Ultimate Edition’ have been able to play the game since September 20.
Some gamers have noted that several of Sancho’s tattoos have been censored, with the designs not carried over.
This includes a sleeve on his right arm, which features well known characters including Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario, Spiderman and Bart Simpson.
Gamers have noted Jadon Sancho’s tattoors have been censored in the latest EA FC game
Sancho has a series of tattoos across both arms which have been amended in the game
Tattoos including characters, such as Bart Simpson, have not been included for copyright reasons
Sancho’s tattoos in the game have instead been coloured black to avoid a copyright breach
While the overall shape of the tattoo sleeve has been maintained, the characters have been censored.
The move comes due to EA not possessing the copyright for the characters, leaving them with no option but to make amendments to Sancho’s likeness.
The ink on the tattoos is shown in black on his arm in the game to avoid breaching copyright.
Speaking in 2019, Sancho had previously bemoaned his tattoos not being in FIFA, as the game was known at the time: ‘My tattoo has got to be in the next FIFA game.
‘EA should also take a closer look at my hair to get my hairstyle better.
‘Because my hair actually has a transition on the sides, but not in FIFA 20.’
Sancho had explained his growing collection of tattoos in 2021, with characters included due to liking comics when he was younger.
The forward also has a tattoo in tribute to his younger brother, who passed away when he was young.
Sancho is seeking to rebuild his career at Chelsea after completing a summer move from Man United.
He moved to Stamford Bridge on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy for around £23m next summer.
Sancho has contributed assists in his two Premier League games for the Blues to date.
