    "They are a fantastic development and hopefully have the potential to impact on sport in England as a whole," said head injury expert Dr Willie Stewart.

    "The guidelines clearly demonstrate the FA's strong leadership around this issue and provide clear information on the immediate management of the injury around the simple principle of 'if in doubt, sit them out'."
