Euro 2020 Temporary Concussion Subs a Potential Big Step for Player Safety

A few days ago Sky Sports reported that its “likely” that next year’s 2020 European Championship will introduce temporary concussion substitutes for players that require evaluation after suffering a head injury during a match. This news comes on the back of news in May that the USL had submitted a potential rule change to the International Football Association Board (IFAB) that would allow for a head injury substitution.

Likely as a result of that submission by the USL, the IFAB will now seriously consider the idea, and both UEFA and FifPRO are reportedly in favor of the change.
