UEFA are set to announce that clubs will be allowed to use
five substitutes in the Champions League and Europa League for the 2020/2021
season, SportsMail reports.
It is a ruling that could put English teams at a significant
disadvantage.
LaLiga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 have all
continued using five subs this season, but the idea introduced during Project
Restart, has been stopped by the Premier League.
This means England’s top clubs could find themselves playing
by different rules in domestic and European competitions.
Europe’s top clubs have been lobbying UEFA all summer for
five subs to be permitted, on the grounds of minimising player fatigue, in a
season that has been cut by four weeks due to the impact of COVID-19.
A decision will be made at UEFA’s Executive Committee
meeting on Thursday.
Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea
will be England’s representatives in the Champions League.
