The UEFA Executive Committee has made changes to the regulations of European cups this season. According to the new decision, clubs can temporarily replace a player who has suffered a long-term injury or illness until the 6th round of the main stage. Sport24.az reports that the official website of the supreme football body has released information about this.
It is noted that the reason for the implementation of the change is to prevent reductions in team lists, as well as to protect players from additional workload.
It should be noted that the first matches of the Champions League League stage will start on September 16.
