Trial Launched to Stop Goalkeeper Time-outs
English football will trial a new rule in the 2026-27 season to prevent goalkeeper tactical time-outs and injury stops used to disrupt play.

The measure aims to ensure genuine injuries receive proper medical attention while reducing tactical advantage. The trial is pending approval from the International Football Association Board.
