Football Federation Australia says it will review its own policies around heading the ball after three British associations banned the skill from being practised at training by junior players to prevent concussions.
The advice comes after a University of Glasgow study, released in October and funded by the FA and English players' association, found that former professionals were almost three-and-a-half times more likely to die from any neurodegenerative disease than men of a similar age who did not play football - but did not establish any causal link relating to heading the ball.
"Watching these kids head a ball without any training, without any neck development, to me was a little bit crazy," she said. "A ban is a very reactionary approach to the current literature or publications that are out. I think we actually need to be sensible, and sensibly debate this," she said.
