- Two studies will dictate the details of new protocols
- Liverpool and Manchester City involved in first study
English football will implement new protocols for heading in the professional game this summer, following the announcement of two new studies into how it affects an athlete’s brain.
The Premier League confirmed on Friday that it is to conduct the research over the remainder of this season, before the findings are incorporated into new rules that will be agreed with professional and amateur bodies. The findings are expected to result in limits on heading in training for all adults.
