Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Premier League is set to begin trails on permanent concussion substitution from January after the International Football Association Board (Ifab) has approved it.<\/p>\n

The new rule means permanent substitutions can be made if a player suffers a head injury, even if all replacements have already been used.<\/p>\n

To avoid potential abuse of the rule, opposition teams will also be able to make a change at the same time.<\/p>\n

However, Premier League clubs have voted against the use of five substitutes, instead players allowed on the bench has increased from seven to nine.<\/p>\n
