Premier League ratifies more subs
Premier League clubs will be allowed to name seven substitutes in matches from the start of next season.
The change was suggested by leading clubs such as Manchester United last year and replicates the regulations in European and international games.
The Premier League agreed to discuss the issue, amid concerns that it would favour clubs with big squads.
Premier League voting rules require 14 out of the 20 member clubs to back any suggested rule changes.
Coaches are currently restricted to naming five substitutes, and are able to use a maximum of three of them.
