Premier League Interim Chief Executive Richard Masters promised that VAR (Video Assistant Referees) will not interrupt the flow of the game. VAR will be used in the Premier League for the first time in the 2019/20 season. It was reported earlier that the Premier League indicated not to use VAR on the new penalty regulations. Richard Masters said in Nanjing, China, that the Premier League will accommodate FIFA regulations, but that he has not yet spoken to the English refereeing body about how to do that.
