Sin-bins could be introduced in professional football if football's rulemakers' plans are given the go ahead, Sky Sports News understands.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) will publish the detailed protocols for the trials on Friday, with the new ruling expected to include referees dishing out blue cards.

The IFAB is set to give the go-ahead for the extended sin-bin trial in senior levels of the game at its annual meeting on 2 March in Glasgow.
There have already been trials in amateur and youth football in both England and Wales and the sport's lawmaking body agreed in November last year that they should be implemented at higher levels of football.

Are they going to build a penalty box on the field like they have for Hockey?
