PFA chief Gordon Taylor is personally wading in to the Premier League's mounting injury crisis and has urged league bosses to over-rule the clubs who have decided in favour of not using five substitutes.
The English top flight has declined to follow the rest of Europe and has reverted back to just permitting three subs per match, despite the end of last season allowing five following Project Restart.
Injuries have been mounting up across the division as a result, with muscle strains and tears now becoming more common than ever before.
Now, Taylor has addressed a letter to the Premier League bosses stating that they must act immediately and allow teams to begin using five substitutes.
