Cascarino was allowed to play without tape covering her inner-ear piercing during her time at Juventus.
However, the FA rule specifies that even using tape to cover any jewellery is not permitted in England.
Guarino said: "She [Cascarino] can't take off this earring; it's like a tattoo. She needs a doctor to take it off and she had tape.
"She played in the Champions League with tape, so I can't understand how we missed using a player in a game for this."

West Ham player denied debut because of earring
Estelle Cascarino was prevented from being introduced as a second-half substitute at Chelsea with FA rules forbidding items of jewellery
Rita Guarino was taking charge of her first West Ham match at Kingsmeadow, but instead of lamenting the gulf between her struggling side and the team who have won the last six WSL titles, the new manager was instead left baffled by league regulations.
At the start of the second half, Guarino tried to bring on Cascarino, who is on loan from Juventus, but because the player was wearing an earring that could not be removed, one she had covered with tape, she was unable to take the field.
In bizarre scenes which resulted in a delay to the start of the second half, West Ham began with 10 players before Inès Belloumou made her way back onto the field.
“She [Cascarino] can’t take off this earring; it’s like a tattoo, she needs a doctor to take this off and she had tape. She played in the Champions League with tape, so I can’t understand how we missed [using] a player in a game for this,” Guarino said.
The 28-year-old French defender has played for Juventus without tape covering the inner-ear piercing, but Football Association rules forbid all items of jewellery and do not allow tape.
