It is with deep regret that we report the passing of our Head Groundsman, Steve Braddock. Rest in peace, Steve ❤️

This will certainly contribute. Alongside Jonathan’s points is the issue of communication. In football there is such variety in language and awareness that time in a quiet environment with translator if needed can only help the accuracy of diagnosis and thus the player
Do you think @TheIFAB extra permanent sub is such a measure and will contribute? Curious to hear your expert's view 😉.

This is a good start. Still a long way for us to go to match the advances in concussion management and research in other sports.
Following our @TheIFAB Concussion Expert Group meeting, football is finally stepping forward for the protection of players at all levels with additional permanent substitution❗️All stakeholders agree: education is key➡️watch @FIFPro video with @PetrCech youtube.com/watch?v=pCFudAtl…

Huge welcome to Flo Newton who has officially joined as First Team Doctor. Flo is a familiar face to all at Arsenal having worked as part of the Academy for a number of years. Flo will work alongside Gary and the rest of the team.

For so many reasons preventing all spitting on the pitch must be a non-negotiable on return to train and return to play.

The French Sports Ministry has said that from May 11th the general public will be able to run, walk and cycle outside without restrictions. Professional athletes will be able to resume training after a health check. A yardstick for UK when it gets round to publishing its plans.

An interesting day ahead highlighting concussion in sport. @WillStewNeuro leading the way in football studies and reminding all that that more studies needed and to consider the benefits of football alongside current headlines. #UKSCRS19 #FIELD study.
