Premier League clubs to be allowed 9 players on the bench this season - Klopp pushed for it

Premier League clubs will be able to name nine players on the bench this season, as per multiple inside sources, including the Athletic.

Premier League managers met on Thursday to discuss and vote on the idea. Again, it was said that the majority of PL gaffers favoured the idea.

Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp was among the biggest advocates of the change.

Last season, clubs were allowed 5 substitutions, to enable teams to ease their players into action after the COVID break.

However, with the change, only 3 substitutions will be allowed, with 2 more subs allowed only in the event of a concussion.
