“We will not introduce temporary concussion subs because, we care about the health of the players and concussion is an important topic for us,” he said.

"We have invested a lot of money, £1.5m, in research. We have an expertise in this area now.

I’m sorry, but £1.5 million does not sound like a lot of money for FIFA, especially not for serious medical research.

We have an expert in this area now.

That’s what… Three doctors?

I’d expect that once you count salary, benefits, and other costs like equipment and travel, that £1.5 isn’t going to pay for more than three specialists.
