Football rule makers are set to change the laws surrounding handballs, just days after Leicester City had a goal controversially disallowed.

Kelechi Iheanacho’s second half strike was ruled out by VAR during the Foxes’ 1-0 defeat to Norwich City.

The Leicester striker curled an inch perfect strike into the bottom corner, only for officials in Stockley Park to say it had hit his hand in the build-up.

City boss Brendan Rodgers was frustrated following the game, whilst also predicting changes to the law in the summer: “We’re disappointed with the goal that was disallowed.

”I think both players unintentionally handballed it but worst-case scenario you think it’s then a free-kick for us.

“We know the rule in terms of touching the hand, but it’s unintentional by their defender, and I don't know what Kelechi can do when it drops.

“It’s something that will be cleared up in the summer.”

And now those changes appear even closer with The International Football Association Board (Ifab) ready to write a new section into the laws of the game, named the ‘T-Shirt line’.

The new ruling will allow match officials to be able to differentiate more clearly between the arm and the shoulder.

This is the latest in a number of amendments, with laws coming under closer attention since the introduction of VAR.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino has also hinted that the offside law could be altered, in order to give the advantage back to the attacking team.

He said: "Obviously the philosophy of fostering attacking football always has to guide us. We have to be aware of tradition but it is true the offside rule has evolved over time.

"We will look into providing strikers more goalscoring opportunities and that's why I think the feeling in the room and the feedback in the room was positive. But we have to test it."
