Spanish FA accept five subs request from La Liga clubs
Three or five subsitutions? The Spanish FA were thinking of returning to three, but La Liga asked for five. That is what Isaac Fouto said and so the rules could be altered.
The RFEF have agreed so five changes will be permitted, but they will have to made in three windows (half-time does not count as a window). 23 man squads will also be allowed to be named for games instead of 18 for another season.
The reason is so that managers have more options on the bench depending on how the game is going and possible coronavirus outbreaks mean that some players may be unavailable.
Five changes will remain, more young players will get a chance and players will have more chance of keeping fit in what will be a packed 2020-21 campaign.
