The German head coach says the opportunity to bring on extra players is essential with the fixture list piling up amid the coronavirus crisis
Jurgen Klopp has expressed his belief that Premier League clubs need five substitutions in order to ensure the welfare of the players over the course of a shortened 2020-21 campaign.
Top-flight clubs were given permission to make five substitutions per game after returning to action following the coronavirus lockdown in June last season.
The new rule gave managers the chance to rotate their squads amid a congested fixture list, and a proposal for the initiative to continue was put forward ahead of the new season, which was reduced in length by four weeks by schedulers due to the coronavirus crisis.
