- Liverpool manager says five replacements should be allowed
- Pep Guardiola and Ole Gunnar Solskjær support Klopp view
Jürgen Klopp has accused the Premier League chief executive, Richard Masters, of a lack of leadership over the decision to abandon the five substitutes’ rule, with anger growing among managers at the rise in muscle injuries this season.
The Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, condemned the “sporting directors, the presidents (and) the chairmans” who voted against persisting with five substitutes in the Premier League following its temporary introduction during Project Restart. Frank Lampard, Steve Bruce and Ole Gunnar Solskjær have also voiced criticism after a report by Premier Injuries showed a dramatic 42% increase in muscle injuries already this term.
