The main item on the agenda for the International FA Board (IFAB) meeting in Zurich, is the automatic red card and there has been a growing chorus of opinion that the punishment is too harsh - a penalty, a red card for the offender and a subsequent suspension.
A rule change would clear up such grey areas and FIFA has submitted the item suggesting the offence is down-graded to a yellow card if a penalty is awarded.
The IFAB is made up of the four home nations, who each have one vote, and FIFA, which has four. Any rule change needs a minimum of six votes in favour.
