IFAB, the body that determines the rules of football and makes changes to them, is set to make the decision to allow five substitutions in football matches next month.
That's according to The Athletic, who are reporting that the temporary rule change, initially introduced during 'Project Restart' last season, could be about to be made a permanent fixture at the International Football Association Board's (IFAB) meeting at the start of next month.
The report claims that IFAB has recommended in the past that all competitions should be allowing up to five substitutions per match. However, a majority vote from the 20 Premier League clubs during the 2020/21 season went against the proposal.
