Players caught diving or feigning injury could face a two-match ban in English football next season as a result of new measures brought in by the FA.

From the beginning of next season players who dive or feign injury could face two-match suspensions, the new offense “successful deception of a match official” was approved at the FA’s annual general.

Under the new rules, when there's evidence that a match official has been successful deceived and there has been a consequence, such as a red card given to a player from the opposing side or a penalty being awarded, the FA will now be able to take retrospective action.

Over 60 Premier League players have been booked for diving in last three seasons.

Incidents will be reviewed by a panel of ex-manager, ex-player, and ex-referee, who will assess the video footage independently.

Any player found guilty of diving will be given a ban.
