"Should the referee call time off at the request of either a Physio, Doctor or Head Trainer to allow a player to receive attention, then the player will either leave the field for a concussion assessment, be interchanged, or will leave the field for 2 minutes of elapsed playing time before being allowed to re-enter the field by the Reserve Referee in an onside position from the dug out side of the field.
When the injured player leaves the field for a period of 2 minutes, the referee will show the green card to indicate this process starting.
The referee still holds sole discretion to be able to call time off."
