The Premier League have announced that all 20 clubs will be allowed to name seven substitutes in matches from next season.

A number of clubs and managers have suggested the idea to expand the number of substitutes from five to seven and the Premier League have now approved the rule change.

After a meeting of the 20 member clubs the change has been approved to replicate the regulations in European and international games.

Despite the increase in the amount of substitutes managers will still only be allowed to make three substitutions in a game.

The news will be a boost to managers who have complained that the current regulations does not allow them to keep all members of their squad happy.
