He must remain out of the game until he has served his penalty time, but the team will replace him on the field so that they are no more than three men short.

There are three players from one team in penalty box. A fourth player from their team hasn't begun serving his penalty time and the opponent team scores goal. All of their penalties are releasable.
- A.
Because all four penalties are releasable, then all four players are released

Correct Answer

Only players who have started serving their releasable penalty time are released when the opponent scores. The fourth player would then enter the penalty area and begin to serve his time. However, while the player must still serve his time, the team's releasable penalties are all released so his team will go back to full-strength of 10-players on the field (he just won't be one of them until he serves his time or the opponent scores again).Rate this question:
