LONDON, July 27: Players sent off in the English Premier ship next season will begin their suspension immediately under a new disciplinary code unveiled on Tuesday by the Football Association.

Under the new code, which will be implemented as a pilot scheme for next season, suspensions will come into effect immediately following a red card, bringing England in line with FIFA regulations. There will be the possibility of clubs making a claim for wrongful dismissal or mistaken identity against their players. -AFP
