CONCUSSION BATTLE GOES ON

The Fa and Premier league will not give up their fight to introduce temporary concussion substitutes. This is despite being defeated on the issue at a meeting of lawmaking body IFaB this week, and being resigned to the fact that any trial will not begin next season. With the four FIFa representatives on IFaB strongly advocating the continued use of permanent concussion subs, the matter will not be on the agenda at IFaB’s aGM in March.
