MLS to kick-start season in July with five subs, bigger rosters. MORE:
The adoption of the rule and the expansion of game-day rosters are especially important given the relatively short preparation teams have had for the MLS Is Back Tournament, which starts July 8 at the sports complex at Walt Disney World.
"So, again, those time differences are going to be a big change, too. We’ll have to function and make solutions for that. Having the full complement of your roster — the great thing is that we’ll have access to it. Now, it’s just a matter of keeping the guys healthy.” The German Bundesliga, the first major international league to return to play, was the first to use the new rule. The Premier League, which resumed play this week, also allows for five subs.
“If you feel that the team is ready, the players feel good, that they have energy level, sometimes the coach doesn’t really want to make five subs. Because bringing in five new players, it’s not that they’re not good players, they’re probably very good players, but sometimes a team works, team chemistry’s there, the tactics work. ... So it’s very tricky.”
