It's been gathered that the competitions were allowed to increase the number of substitutes following the resumption of their respective seasons in an attempt to protect player welfare.
Premier League altered their rules to allow five changes, rather than three, while clubs were allowed to name nine players on the bench – rising from seven.
It was proposed that the rule could continue into the 2020/21 campaign, but all 20 clubs have voted with a return to a maximum of three changes per match now confirmed.
Expanded substitutions appeared to favour the bigger clubs during the resumed Premier League season and it’s understood it was the top six who were most ardently in favour of the switch.
But the proposal didn’t receive the 14 of the 20 votes required to pass.
The proposed expanded matchday squads from 18 players to 20 also failed to pass.
