Fredericks becomes first player to use the concussion substitute rule
During West Ham’s FA Cup clash with Manchester United on Tuesday, David Moyes became the first manager to use the new rule as he was forced to take Issa Diop off after a clash of heads with Anthony Martial.
On February 6, the concussion substitute rule started trials in the Premier League and FA Cup, among other competitions, which allows teams to make up to two permanent substitutions per game for players who have suffered from a concussion.
“The trial is a result of the IFAB’s consultation with stakeholders and recommendations from their concussion expert group to allow additional substitutions for players with actual or suspected concussion,”
the FA said.
The desire for them grew after
Raul Jimenez
and
David Luiz’s
collision, which forced the Mexican leave the field with a fractured skull.
