Mikel Arteta is hoping the Premier League reintroduce the five substitutes rule as a way to battle against player fatigue throughout the season.
Arsenal pick back up in the top flight against Leeds United on Sunday, with the Gunners currently in 11th place.
Prior to the international break, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp both called for the league to allow teams to use five changes during a game – a rule which was brought in for Project Restart but was voted against for the new season.
But with the number of soft-tissue injuries and general niggles already tallying up, Arteta wants to see more done to protect the players.
