Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has backed his Chelsea counterpart Thomas Tuchel’s call to permit two extra substitutions.
Asked if he agreed with Tuchel and whether he would be in favour of five substitutions returning, Klopp, who is preparing his team to face Chelsea on Tuesday, “Yes. So we have to put the competition aside and don’t say, ‘Well [Manchester] City have better subs than Southampton, we have better subs than Burnley’ or whatever.
“They have international games with the national teams because pretty much all of them play for their national teams, so eight or nine, maybe 10 games a year – so you can count that. “But now the decision about it [extra subs] is made, and we realised in the manager’s meeting it was like that. The decision is made by 14 clubs, you need 14 votes to change it. And there is something wrong.
“It’s a real problem because it’s the right decision [to reintroduce five subs], especially in this moment, because you bring players back after a Covid infection or after an injury and because of the amount of games you have to play, they have to play immediately.
