Clubs Vote To Reduce Subs Bench

Football League clubs have voted to cut the number of available substitutes this season from seven to five.

An EGM in Leicester today has voted in favour of the reduction with a statement reading: "This was felt to be a sensible and prudent step given the financial challenges facing many football clubs and the commitment made earlier this summer to adopt UEFA's Financial Fair Play framework."

Clubs will still name seven subs in the Carling and FA Cups, but for League matches and the Johnstones Paint Trophy the number will drop to five.
