Four subs for FA Cup
LONDON. — Teams in the 2016-17 FA Cup are set to be allowed to use a fourth substitute during extra time as the Football Association trials a new format for the first time. The innovation — which follows the announcement of a sudden-death format for the last eight stage — will only apply to teams playing in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and Wembley final.It means clubs who have used their regular three substitutions in normal time would be able to make an additional replacement should the game go beyond 90 minutes.
The latest trial scheme to be planned for next season’s FA Cup was also trialled in the Copa America earlier this summer with English football’s most famous competition now set to follow suit. — Mailonline.
