Chelsea manager Frank Lampard highlights how the pandemic has made the burden on players increase due to busy schedules. Unfortunately, Premier League instead repealed the five substitution rules that should help players.
With five substitutions, the manager can better manage the minutes of play. The pressure to implement this rule again has recently been voiced by a number of managers, including Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp.

“My main concern is the condition of the players, who are under tremendous pressure, especially those who are at clubs playing in European competitions.”
“I don’t want people to sob their tears for the players because we know what a streak we are, but elsewhere across Europe it seems like five substitutions are applied,” he added.
