Description

Footballs rule-makers explore new ways to combat time-wasting tactics, particularly when goalkeepers feign injury. One proposal involves making an outfield player leave the field for a short time if their goalkeeper needs medical attention. This comes after Manchester City faced accusations of using this tactic during a match against Leeds United. The International Football Association Board is expected to discuss potential rule changes, including this proposal, at their annual meeting in January 2026.
