Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp reiterated his call for the Premier League to rethink its decision to stick with a maximum of three substitutes per game instead of five, as a congested schedule has led to player fatigue and injuries.
While top leagues across Europe took up the option of being able to make five substitutes per game in a season truncated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Premier League opted to use only three.Klopp's Liverpool have been plagued by numerous injuries and with England's traditionally congested festive fixture schedule around the corner, the German boss urged authorities to make the change in the interest of player welfare.
"We couldn't vote, as managers aren't allowed to do that, but it has gone from 11-9 in favour of three subs to 15-5 in favour of five. Now, hopefully, those making the decisions can make the next steps."
