Injuries are<a href="https://www.verywellfit.com/common-soccer-injuries-3120651" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> not uncommon</a> in football, a highly physical sport that requires an impressive degree of physicality and often pushes players to the edge.</p> <p>And, unlike American football players who are usually decked out in hard protection, football players don’t wear any protection apart from shin guards. Critically, football players <a href="https://soccerheadprotection.com/why-soccer-players-should-wear-head-protection/#:~:text=Here's%20Why%20Soccer%20Players%20Should,head%20contact%20and%20from%20heading." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">do not wear any head protection</a>, exposing their heads to direct blows at relatively high velocities.</p> <p>During the finals of the 2014 World Cup, German player Christoph Kramer collided with Ezequiel Garay from Argentina and suffered a mild concussion. However, this wasn’t known at the time, and Kramer was allowed to continue playing after the collision. According to referee Nicola Rizzoli, Krame approached him 14 minutes later asking him if the match they currently were playing<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jul/17/christoph-kramer-germany-concussion-world-cup-final-2014" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> was the final</a>, after which the referee took action and had the disoriented player substituted.</p> <p>Concussions are a type of <a href="https://www.concussionalliance.org/the-invisible-injury" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">invisible injury</a> that often don’t show symptoms at the time of injury. In some cases, it can be hours even days before concussed individuals exhibit <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/traumaticbraininjury/concussion/symptoms.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">symptoms</a> such as general confusion, headaches or dizziness.</p> <p>The <a href="https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/11dc529ca641c307/original/FIFA-Medical-Concussion-Protocol.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FIFA Medical Concussion Protocol</a> seeks to prevent what happened in the 2014 final from occurring again. It will provide team medics and doctors with an in-depth guide on how to deal with concussions on the field.</p> <p>FIFA medical director Dr. Andrew Masey<a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/11/2/new-concussion-protocol-in-place-for-world-cup-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> said</a> that the protocol starts with obtaining a baseline screening of every player to allow team physicians to have a picture of how a player’s brain operates in normal conditions. This baseline screening is also meant to educate players on the risks and potential consequences of concussive injuries.</p> <p>Masey noted that FIFA’s medical team would work intimately with doctors and medical personnel from participating teams, stating that developing a close relationship with the doctors would foster an environment of communication that could be quite beneficial for the players.</p> <p>The protocol will allow teams to withdraw players who are suspected to have a concussion without reducing their five allotted substitutions by providing a sole<a href="https://injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/early/2022/07/05/ip-2022-044580" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> additional permanent concussion substitution </a>(APCS).</p> <p>Even though sports such as football have an elevated risk of head injuries, especially when played at a high level, FIFA has <a href="https://slate.com/culture/2014/07/christoph-kramer-latest-world-cup-head-injury-shows-fifa-really-really-doesn-t-care-about-concussions.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">never instituted such a rule </a>until the recent protocol was issued.</p> <p>The<a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12206665/premier-league-concussion-substitutes-explained-how-green-and-white-card-system-to-protect-player-welfare-works" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Premier League</a>, English Football League and Football Association have all permanently adopted APCS.</p> <p>As concussions start getting the specialized attention that they deserve, the drug development efforts of enterprises such as <a href="https://www.biomedwire.com/clients/odyssey-health-inc/?symbol=odyy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Odyssey Health Inc.
