BELFAST — Football’s rule-making body IFAB is being urged by the players’ union to introduce a 10-minute concussion evaluation period, with temporary substitutes, to allow players to receive better care for head injuries. Clout says nobody assessed whether she showed symptoms of a concussion after a ball had hit her head from close range in the 40th minute. This is about life, about being able to enjoy relationships with family and friends, about being able to work or play sports,” said Clout. “I’m behind 10-minute sub and have helped it get to this point,” Twellman told Reuters. “Every neurologist and other expert says 10 minutes allows them and the athlete to make the most educated decision,” he said.
