Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson urges the Premier League to bring in concussion substitutes after watching Raul Jimenez and David Luiz clash heads and said the incident left him 'very worried'

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has called for the use of concussion substitutes after Raul Jimenez fractured his skull on Sunday.

Ederson was at home watching Wolves’ victory at Arsenal when his former Benfica team-mate Jimenez clashed heads with David Luiz.

The Brazilian himself came off with a nasty head injury after colliding with the boot of Liverpool’s Sadio Mane in 2017, requiring lengthy treatment and oxygen, and wants new rules implemented.
