Evening StandardUEFA confirm no concussion substitutes following Arsenal’s Women’s Champions League confusion
UEFA have confirmed that concussion substitutes are not permitted in any of their competitions, following confusion during last night’s Women’s Champions League clash between Arsenal and Ajax. Arsenal forward Beth Mead was forced off late in the tie following a clash of heads, after the Gunners had already used up their allocation of three windows for substitutions during the match. It initially seemed winger Lina Hurtig would be allowed to come on as a concussion replacement, only for Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall to be informed by the referee that the protocol is not in place in the competition, though the Swede claimed afterwards that the officials themselves had not been sure of the rules.
