The Premier League will trial a new rule this season to stop goalkeepers from pretending to be injured in order to waste time or get instructions from the bench.
The measure aims to keep games moving at a steady pace without unnecessary breaks. Officials will watch closely for any signs that goalkeepers are feigning injury to disrupt play or allow extra time for coaching staff to give advice. If the trial proves successful, it could lead to permanent changes in how such incidents are handled. The focus is on fair play and ensuring matches remain competitive and flowing from start to finish. Players and coaches will need to adjust their approach to avoid any penalties during the season ahead.
