Confirming the change, an EFL statement said: “Supporters across the game will be familiar with the changes in relation to the calculation of additional time, with both the Men’s World Cup in 2022 and Women’s World Cup this summer adopting a variation of this approach.
“With the revised calculation for additional time coming into effect from this season, this will of course keep spectators and indeed players informed, and is a key innovation in ensuring further transparency in regard to game management.”
It has also been confirmed that supporters should not expect to hear from any manager sent off either during or after the game.
As part of FA disciplinary rules, any non-playing participant dismissed is not permitted to undertake post-match media commitments on the day of the fixture: either with external or internal media.
