A trial proposed to introduce a temporary concussion substitute for the 2023/24 season has been rejected by the game’s lawmakers.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) met at Wembley on Wednesday to discuss the possibility of a trial after a request from world players’ union Fifpro and the World Leagues Forum to test the protocol in the Premier League, Ligue 1 and Major League Soccer.
Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham was in favour of the trail being implemented, but has now revealed no consensus could be met.
