- Ifab board expected to give assent at 16 December meeting
- Rule could be in place for FA Cup third round ties in January
The FA is to fast track trials of concussion substitutes in this season’s FA Cup, following their approval by an expert International FA Board panel.
An Ifab committee has given its assent to the use of additional permanent substitutes in the event of a player being concussed during a match. The recommendation will go before Ifab chiefs at their annual business meeting next month.
