Express Sport – Green light for Blue cards

The news that the FA Cup will trial the Blue card has been met with backlash. The Blue cards will be shown to players for dissent and tactical fouls – it will mean the player will have to spend 10 minutes in the technical area. 

Elsewhere, the paper also reports on England’s upcoming Six Nations match against Wales and reports rookie taking to the pitch makes the paper.

There is also a report on England football boss Gareth Southgate as that suggests he could stay on beyond the summer’s Euros in Germany. He had previously said he would leave after the summer competition.
