Greenwood was involved in a sickening clash of heads with Belgian forward Jassina Blom, who was allowed to play on, but neither side was able to bring on a concussion substitute under Uefa rules
Newcastle in contact with brains behind Spurs' £1.2bn stadium over St James' Park redevelopment, with Greenwood requiring 14 minutes of treatment before she could be stretchered off. Blom, however, played on until the 74, up to two concussed players per side can be taken off without it counting towards a team’s allocated number of substitutes – but the rule is not used in any Uefa competitions.
The FA confirmed at half time that Greenwood was conscious and talking, with Wiegman adding that by full time she was able to walk around. It is not the first time Uefa’s omission of the rule has come under fire. When Beth Mead suffered a head injury against Ajax in the Women’s Champions League last year, there was confusion among the officials and on the Arsenal bench as to whether she could be replaced with a concussion substitute.The PFA has previously led calls for Uefa to rethink its policy in order to better protect players.
