English football will implement a trial to try to eradicate the goalkeeper tactical timeout this season. The Football Association, Premier League, English Football League, National League and Women's Super League have agreed on the measure, with permission granted by the International Football Association Board (Ifab). The first game to feature the trial will be the Carabao Cup preliminary round tie between Tranmere and Rochdale on Saturday. BBC Sport understands that the Australian A-League will trial a variation with the captain always having to leave the field. The tactic of gaining a timeout as the keeper is treated has become increasingly common and controversial in recent seasons.
