A new rule intended to combat deliberate timewasting and game disruption is expected to be approved ahead of the 2026 World Cup this summer.
It is proposed that players who are treated for an injury and leave the pitch should remain out of action for a full minute before being allowed back on. BBC Sport suggest the International Football Association Board will give the go ahead for the measure to be added to the laws of the game when the annual general meeting is held on Saturday.
