Premier League want answers as Spurs flout heading limits

THE Premier League will quiz Tottenham on why they are not implementing heading limits in training after Nuno Espirito Santo said the club are ignoring the guidance.

Football’s authorities have taken a dim view of a club admitting they are not following the guidelines, which were put in place to protect players amid fears of a link to dementia. The recommendation at the start of the season was that players should be limited to 10 high-force headers per week. Manager Nuno said Spurs are not counting headers in training and sources say they are not alone.

‘Player welfare is paramount and the guidance is an important component,’ said the Premier League. ‘We will speak with the club to understand their challenges in

implementing it.’
