Gary Lineker explains why plan to replace throw-ins won't work ahead of rule change trial

Match of the Day host Gary Lineker believes Arsene Wenger 's plan to replace throw-ins with kick-ins will not work because it will slow down the game.

Former Arsenal manager Wenger, who is FIFA's chief of global football development, wants players to restart games with their feet instead of their hands to make the game quicker. The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has announced the idea will be trialed.

The IFAB confirmed the news after their annual meeting in Qatar on Monday morning. The rule-making group are made up of FIFA, FA, Irish FA, Scottish FA and FA of Wales officials and their recent gathering was chaired by FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
