The guidelines for dealing with possible concussion operate under the tagline of 'if in doubt sit them out'. It means that if a player has suspected concussion at any level of football "they must be immediately removed from the pitch, whether in training or match play". The FA states that the reason for immediate action in removing players from the pitch is because treatment delays "could risk incomplete recovery of the brain".
