What is new? A player who feigns injury could face a suspension.
Scenario:
Player A is sent off for violent conduct
Dismissal overturned after the referee reviews the incident and sees that Player B had feigned injury
Player B is open to a charge and could face a three-match ban

Sounds like a good idea to me. The play acting and simulation that plagues the game really is something to be ashamed of. Hopefully introducing a punishment will be somewhat of a deterrent.

Will the dismissal be reversed after the game? So the upside for the player mistakenly sent off is not missing matches?
