Premier League clubs have voted against allowing teams to make five substitutions per game for the third time at a shareholders meeting on Thursday.
Several coaches have called for the top flight to embrace the change. Jurgen Klopp called it a “necessity” and Pep Guardiola called the current limit of three substitutes a “disaster”.
But the proposal has once again failed to reach the threshold of 14 up votes at a meeting of all 20 clubs. Instead, teams will be allowed to name nine players on the bench, up from seven before.
