Up to 10 higher-force training headers every week for professionals

Guidance for adult amateurs is up to 10 training headers every week

The amount of heading allowed by players in training across the adult game in English football is to be severely restricted from this season due to welfare concerns, under guidance agreed by the game’s main bodies.

The Football Association, Premier League, English league, Professional Footballers’ Association and League Managers Association issued recommendations on Wednesday amid fears that repeated heading may cause dementia.
