Some of those changes have already been seen in the US, Canada and Mexico (albeit the tournament has seen some controversial calls in the early stages, including three red cards in the opening match).Here are the four new rules you need to know about ahead of Liverpool returning to league action in August, which you may already have spotted at the World Cup.InjuriesAny player who receives treatment for an injury on the field will be required to leave the pitch for at least one minute if no yellow or red card is shown for the challenge.This is an increase from the 30 seconds previously used by the Premier League, and is in line with major leagues around Europe. The countdown will begin when the player has the ball and it is reasonable to start counting.Liverpool.com says: Again, getting on with things more quickly is key.

The player coming off will need to leave the field much more quickly when the board goes up.If the time limit is exceeded, the player coming on to replace them cannot enter the field until the first stoppage after one minute has elapsed, which will presumably be managed by the fourth official.Liverpool.com says: There is nothing more infuriating than a player messing about on the halfway line before pretending to notice that their number has come up on the board. This should make things better.VARA VAR review will now be permitted when second yellow cards are awarded and a player gets a red card as a result.

However, this is only for when players are awarded a second yellow card, rather than when there is a foul that could be given as a caution.In some leagues, VAR will be allowed to review incorrectly awarded corners. But the Premier League does not intend to adopt that because it adds to the disruption in the flow of the game.Liverpool.com says: Having VAR for corners surely wouldn't take that long?
