Premier League: Touchline interviews with substituted players set to begin next season

Posted by Simon Stone | 6 hours ago | Sport | Views: 5


BBC Sport has been told substituted players will be allowed to cool down before being interviewed on the touchline during the game.

But details have yet to be released on how often this will happen in matches, or how many matches it will apply to.

Dressing room access will be restricted and never allowed during team talks.

Such coverage is a regular feature of sport in the United States but has rarely been seen in the UK.

The new TV deal includes the BBC continuing to show Premier League highlights on Match of the Day.

It also includes Football Focus, plus additional digital rights for its online platforms.
