Infantino proposes sending players off for covering their mouths

The debate surrounding the controversy involving Vinícius and Prestianni continues to rage on, and now the president of FIFA is putting forward drastic steps to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Details: As reported by Topskills Sports UK, Gianni Infantino is currently considering a proposal that would see players sent off if they cover their mouths during on-field confrontations.

He aims to encourage those at fault to take public responsibility for their words and actions. Such a rule could be introduced ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Meanwhile, negotiations between Real Madrid and Vinícius’ representatives are ongoing, but the extension of his contract, which runs until 2027, now appears to be a foregone conclusion.

Reminder: Mehdi Taj, president of the Iranian Football Federation, made a sensational statement on national television, casting doubt on the current format of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
