FIFA's medical chief wants to allow referees to stop matches for three minutes to assess head injuries when a concussion is suspected.

Soccer leaders have been under pressure to better protect players after there were five concussion cases at the World Cup in Brazil, including several where the player tried to stay on the field.

A lawsuit is also being brought in the US, chiding FIFA's guidelines for players who receive serious head injuries.
