According to The Times, The Football Association will consider trialling sin bins in the FA Cup and Women's FA Cup next season.

However, sin bins will not be used at either this summer's European championship in Germany, or in next season's Uefa Champions League after Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin revealed in January that he was completely opposed to them, saying: "It's not football anymore."

One example given of a blue card during Thursday's IFAB meeting was from the Euro 2020 final Italy centre-back Giorgio Chiellini's shirt pull on England forward Bukayo Saka which only resulted in a yellow card.

'Sin bins have worked very, very well in the grassroots of the game'

The IFAB approved proposed trials whereby only the team captain may approach the referee and for sin bins to be tested at a higher level back in November.

Those proposals were then supported at the IFAB's Annual Business Meeting (ABM) in London which shaped the agenda for the organisation's annual general meeting, which will be held on March 2 in Glasgow, where any proposed changes to the laws of the game will be considered for approval.

Board member Mark Bullingham, the chief executive of the Football Association, said: "When we were looking at sin bins - protocol clearly has to be developed - the areas we were looking at were dissent, where it's worked very, very well in the grassroots game in England.

"We've also spoken about other areas, particularly tactical fouls.
