Ten-minute sin-bins for dissent could reportedly be introduced in professional football, with the sport's lawmakers considering trialling the measure.

It comes amid a growing desire to tackle misbehaviour in the sport, with this season's Premier League alone already seeing 88 booking for dissent, while Sheffield United's Oli McBurnie received a second yellow for dissent against Tottenham in September.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) - who determine the laws of the game - are meeting in London in two weeks time and sorting out 'participant misbehaviour' is set to be a key focus, with fears officials are being put off the game due to assault and abuse.
