The big news emerging ahead of next season is that the Premier League are set to re-introduce the five substitution rule after numerous requests from managers from the top-flight of English football.
A stakeholders meeting in London is scheduled for Thursday (March 31) where the issue is set to be voted on once again with reports revealing that from the start of next season, each team will be allowed to make up to five replacements during any game - if the vote does indeed get the green light.
If so, this would represent a major U-turn from the Premier League as it was only in December 2020 that clubs, for a third time, rejected the proposal to increase the number of substitutes allowed per game after the limit was increased during 'Project Restart' when football resumed after the global pandemic.
