England enforces new penalties on injury claimants
The football authorities in England have decided to implement a new trial during the 2026-2027 season aimed at reducing time wasting by goalkeepers, especially in cases of exaggerated injuries or simulated injuries to disrupt the flow of play. The trial stipulates that a goalkeeper receiving medical treatment on the field must leave the team for one player for one minute after play resumes, in order to prevent medical stoppages from being exploited for tactical gains and to reinforce player safety. The responsibility of selecting which player should leave will lie with the coach or captain, with exceptions made for serious injuries or head injuries. This initiative is part of the English Football Association’s efforts to develop the rules of the game and minimize stoppage times, thereby maintaining the rhythm and speed of matches. Additionally, a trial will be introduced to regulate the speed at which substitute players leave the field, ensuring it does not exceed ten seconds—starting with the upcoming English Football League Cup at the beginning of the new season—in an effort to improve the flow and pace of matches and prevent the unfair exploitation of rules for advantage.
