Jurgen Klopp reacts to Premier League rule change after repeated campaigning

Jurgen Klopp has revealed he is happy with the decision from the Premier League to allow its teams to make five substitutions per game after campaigning for the change.

The increase was briefly introduced as an emergency measure when the competition resumed in 2020 after a pandemic-enforced break, but five has since become three again. This makes the Premier League different from other top European club competitions, but it is set to fall in line with the Champions League and various other domestic leagues from next season onwards.

Klopp has been one of the biggest supporters of the increase among Premier League bosses. However, there has been criticism from elsewhere, with West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady among the most critical of proposals.
