The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has ruled out the widespread introduction of offside being determined in accordance with the recommendations of former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to AS.
According to the source, the matter has been postponed for further testing, with the Canadian Premier League agreeing to this. A final decision on the new offside rule will be made at the IFAB General Assembly in Cardiff on February 28. After that, the idea may be abandoned, or tests may begin in Canada.
It will be recalled that Wenger's "offside" rule means that a player is only considered offside if their entire body is in front of the last defender.
