Fifa has ruled out “concussion bins” being introduced to football - with the chairman of its medical committee claiming they would be abused by managers.

The Daily Telegraph exclusively revealed this week that Premier League doctors were pushing for teams to be allowed to make temporary substitutions for up to 10 minutes while players who take a blow to the head are assessed by medics.

That would require a change to the Laws of the Game, something Fifa medical chief Michel D’Hooghe said he would not support.

“I am not in favour of temporary substitutions, for many reasons,” he told The Telegraph.

Implying managers might try to exploit such a rule change for tactical reasons, he added: “I hope you don’t believe that this would be used rightly every time.”

No change can be made to the Laws of the Game without the support of Fifa, the medical policy of which is set by a committee led by former executive D’Hooghe.
