The International Football Association Board are not considering introducing temporary concussion substitutions, with the game's lawmakers instead set to extend their trial of extra permanent substitutions.
Campaigners, including Sportsmail columnist Chris Sutton, have long argued that the option of temporarily replacing a potentially concussed player is better than the current protocols.
More than 100 competitions are taking part in the experiment, including the Premier League, with the trial period due to end in August 2022.
