This will certainly contribute. Alongside Jonathan’s points is the issue of communication. In football there is such variety in language and awareness that time in a quiet environment with translator if needed can only help the accuracy of diagnosis and thus the player

@SportsDocSkye @Ligue1_ENG @Ligue2BKT @FIFPro @UNFP @peterrobinson86 @TheIFAB @andy_massey @DrMarkFulcher @OhMyGoalUS @GeorgeChiampas @docgaryod @raphaelvarane Do you think @TheIFAB extra permanent sub is such a measure and will contribute? Curious to hear your expert's view 😉.

[Gary O'Driscoll @docgaryod]

This is a good start. Still a long way for us to go to match the advances in concussion management and research in other sports.

[Vincent Gouttebarge @VGouttebarge]

Following our @TheIFAB Concussion Expert Group meeting, football is finally stepping forward for the protection of players at all levels with additional permanent substitution❗️All stakeholders agree: education is key➡️watch @FIFPro video with @PetrCech https://t.co/cZ3MG8q9l5

[Gary O'Driscoll @docgaryod]

For so many reasons preventing all spitting on the pitch must be a non-negotiable on return to train and return to play.

The French Sports Ministry has said that from May 11th
the general public will be able to run, walk and cycle outside without restrictions. Professional athletes will be able to resume training after a health check. A yardstick for UK when it gets round to publishing its plans.
