Premier League clubs have voted against allowing teams to make five substitutions per match for a third time at a shareholders’ meeting on Thursday.
A number of managers have called for the top flight to adopt the change, with Jurgen Klopp calling it a “necessity” and Pep Guardiola labelling the current three substitute limit a “disaster”.
But the proposal has once again failed to meet the threshold of 14 votes in favour at a meeting of the 20 clubs.
