Injury causes temporary sub in England
This article discusses the implementation of a new trial in the English Premier League to address the exploitation of goalkeeper injuries to delay matches or slow down play. The experiment will be introduced starting from the 2026-2027 season, following approval from the International Football Council. It involves obliging the coach to immediately select an outfield player to leave the pitch whenever play is stopped due to a goalkeeper injury, with that player remaining off the field for at least one minute. The initiative aims to preserve the pace of matches and reduce manipulation through injuries, with exceptions for injuries resulting from fouls or bleeding. The trial of this procedure will begin in a Carabao Cup match between Tranmere and Rotherham.
