Premier League to ignore new FIFA rules which have caught the eye at World Cup 2022

The Premier League will not follow FIFA 's new lead on stoppage time when the domestic season resumes, according to reports.

Throughout the first week of the World Cup eyebrows have been raised at the amount of time added on at the end of each half. FIFA referees' chief Pierluigi Collina wants to ensure that all "unnatural time" which is lost is subsequently added on, which has seen several matches exceed the 100-minute mark.

Officials have sought clarification from the PGMOL on whether they will be asked to implement a similar attitude, but the Daily Mail understands they won't be. The average match at the World Cup has lasted 102 minutes and 42 seconds - four minutes longer than the average top flight game in England this term.
