Nations competing at this winter's World Cup in Qatar will be allowed to name three additional players in their squad, FIFA has confirmed.
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, nations had only been able to name a 23-man squad for major international tournaments. However, last summer's European Championships saw UEFA allow all of those involved to name a 26-man squad for the finals, which were held in varying cities across Europe, but only a 23-man squad for match days.
This meant managers such as Gareth Southgate were required to drop a handful of players for each game they played in the tournament.
