The Hindu  

Premier League clubs on Thursday agreed in principle to introduce additional permanent concussion substitutions after the sport's rule-making body IFAB approved trials. The new rule will allow a maximum of two permanent concussion replacements in cases of head injury, regardless of the number of substitutions a team has made already. “The trial is a result of the IFABs consultation with stakeholders and recommendations from their concussion expert group to allow additional substitutions for players with actual or suspected concussion,” the league said in a statement. “The League will now apply for permission from the IFAB, via The FA, to take part in the trial which could be implemented as early as January 2021.” The shareholders also approved an amendment to the league's rules to increase the number of substitutes a club may include on their team sheet from seven to nine from round 14 until the end of the season.
