When the ball is in play, a player (Team A) who is already off the field of play (having been treated for an injury) strikes the opposing coach (Team B). The referee stops play. What is the sanction? How is play restarted?

Question

Accepted Answer

A player is sent off (red card) for violent conduct. Play is restarted with a direct free kick to Team B on the boundary line nearest to where the offence occurred.
