Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has expressed concern over the current covid-19 spread within Premier League players.

According to him, that is a major reason why the FA should consider restoring the 5-man substitute options during league games.

Highlights on the 5-man substitute option

During the project restart campaign, the Premier League FA allowed teams to take a maximum number of 5 substitutions during League games.

Since the players are just coming up to speed in terms of fitness, the FA thought it wise to introduce a 5-man substitution rule.

However, with time, the rule has slowly changed. The conventional 3-man substitution verdict is now in play.

Thomas Tuchel shares his thoughts

From the growing concern of covid-19 cases in England, Thomas Tuchel has called for the resumption of a 5-man substitution ruling.

In a recent statement, Tuchel called out the English FA. Urging them to look into the substitution rulings once again.

The reason behind the 5-man substitution ruling was clear. Players were coming up to speed in terms of fitness. That is still the case with the covid-19 crisis.

Conclusion

The thoughts of Thomas Tuchel seem valid considering the current covid-19 effect.

The FA would no doubt have suchlike suggestions in their books.
