DHAKA: Footballers should be removed from play if they lose consciousness, say the world players` union Fifpro and the Professional Footballers` Association.

Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris was allowed to carry on after being knocked out in Sunday`s 0-0 draw with Everton.

"If anyone suffers severe trauma to the head and loses consciousness, they should be required to leave the field," said the PFA`s John Bramall.

The Football Association says a player can continue if assessed by a doctor.
