3 substitutes can be made during the game. (same as Pre-covid)
There is now also something called 'concussion substitutes.' - can make a max of 2 per game in addition to the 3 standard subs. Team doctor has to make recommendation for player to come off and dialogue must include 4th official with opposing team made aware that it is a concussion sub. Presume this ties in with the new rules for heading in training.

Re: Bits & Bobs

on the subject of subs, I was confused at the game yesterday.....

Ipswich player went down injured after a challenge, play continued so no foul etc, stayed down for a bit of time. Ipswich didn't put the ball out of play, ball ends up safely in Trafford's hands. Ref stops play to allow player to be treated. All funky dory, however the referee then allows the injured player to be substituted, a new player enters the field and play continues from Trafford. Never seen that before.

It's been a long week!!
As AccyMad has pointed out - my post should have read Wycombe and not Ipswich.

All substitutes must be nominated and included on the official Team Sheet handed to the Referee prior to the Match.

sounds fine to me. however i did not see the incident so its hard to comment on it. better than the stupid time wasting dropping of the ball for it being tapped back to the keeper to restart the game.
