From Q&A 2006 Law 3 - The Number of Players:

4. If, before the start of a match played under the rules of a competition, a player is replaced by a named substitute without the referee having been notified, may this substitute be permitted to continue to participate in the game?

Yes. The player will be cautioned for unsporting behaviour. The referee will apply the advantage or stop play. If play is stopped to administer a caution, it will be restarted with an indirect free kick to the opposing team from the place where the ball was when play was stopped*.
