Would the upper arm count? How about the shoulder?
It’s part of the game in hockey with attackers aiming for defenders feet but it’s a hell of a lot harder to aim a flick or pass at a defender’s arm than a foot!

How often do you see a player make contact with the ball with their upper arm or shoulder.......I can’t remember the last time?

There is a way to mitigate for this in my opinion and for obstruction in the box and that’s to have an additional “penalty spot” on the 18 yard box for these “lesser” incidents of foul play.
