7 is the number of substitutes allowed to be named on the bench even pre-covid. I’m not sure if this new rule will allow any extras on the bench or not.
While on the topic of substitutions, is there still going to be 5 subs per game this season or is it back to 3? Hard to keep track of it with 3 subs being allowed in the premier league, 5 in cup competitions and Championship to league two level and different rules depending on the leagues across europe
