European football governing body UEFA is to investigate the use of two referees in matches amid increasing claims of players faking injury. West Brom boss Bryan Robson on Saturday accused Chelsea's Didier Drogba of diving in the league leaders' 2-1 win.
UEFA chief executive Lars-Christer Olsson told BBC Five Live's Sportsweek programme: "The use of two referees will be discussed in the summer.
"Previous tests haven't been successful because of communication."
Olsson added: "We haven't foreseen any tests in the near future but it is one of the matters that has come up in discussion with clubs in terms of dealing with this behaviour."
The UEFA boss believes that diving has become a real problem for British football.
"It seems it has been significantly more in Britain than in the other parts of Europe, although there have been reports from international games as well."
