The Football Association (FA) is expected to approve a proposal for retrospective bans for players who dive or feign injury in English football from next season.


The idea, which is already being used in Scotland, is on the agenda at the FA's annual general meeting at Wembley on Thursday, ESPn reports.

It is reported that the English Football League, League Managers Association, Premier League and Professional Footballers' Association support the plan.

If approved by three-quarters of the 1,100 FA shareholders, three-man panels will review footage from the weekend each Monday and any player unanimously found to have cheated can expect a ban.
