English Premier League is set to launch what it called concussion substitutes from next week, report Matt Slater and Dan Sheldon.
Since the coronavirus epidemic shut down the 2019-2020 season., new rules as regards substitute have emerged over time.
Earlier, the football govering body, FIFA introduced. a five-man substitute to help cushion the effect of the virus on players health.
However, after the Premier league followed the five-man substitute rule placed by FIFA for the remainder of the 2019/20 season, they have since reverted back to the normal three-man substitute for the current season.
Now to help handle the health effect of the hectic schedule due to congestion of matches, the EPL will be introducing a new rule from next week.
The new rule will allow players to be taken off the pitch and substituted if they have suffered a suspected concussion but the substitution will not count towards one of the three substitutes normally allowed in a game.
In other words, a team can make substitution for a player who suffers head concussion even if they have exhausted all their substitutions.
