Premier League players want referees to provide in-game guidance about the amount of injury time to be added during matches amidst concerns about the greater risk of injury caused by longer games.
Chelsea's extraordinary 4-1 win over Tottenham on Monday featured over 21 minutes of added time, including 12 at the end of the first half, while the amount of stoppage time played in all Premier League games this season has increased to an average of 11 minutes and 35 seconds per-game from 08:27 minutes last season.
Under the current convention players are only made aware of the amount of time to be added on when the fourth official raise their board towards the end of each half, which many feel makes it hard for them to manage their effort and workload.
