Carabao Cup rule: Clubs still playing in the EFL will be permitted to make five substitutions from the nine they nominate for the remainder of the 2021/22 competition.
This follows a proposal from 14 of the 16 Clubs remaining in this season’s Carabao Cup.
A statement from the association read;
“After consultation between the EFL Board, the Premier League, and the two non-signatory Clubs, an amendment has been made to Competition Rule 10.1.
“The amendment comes into effect ahead of the next round of ties which will take place during the week commencing Monday 25 October 2021,”
