LONDON: Premier League clubs will be able to use five substitutes, rather than the usual three, when the season resumes on Jun 17, it was announced on Thursday .
The changes will be temporary to mitigate the packed schedule clubs will have after a three-month suspension to the season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.There are 92 outstanding fixtures with the majority of teams facing nine matches in a six-week period. "For the remainder of the 2019/20 season, the number of substitutes that can be used during a match will increase from three to five players," a Premier League statement said after a meeting of shareholders on Thursday.
"This is in line with the temporary law amendment made by the International Football Association Board last month."
