New rules state that every Premier League club must submit a squad of a maximum of 25 players. Eight of the 25 must be home-grown players. For a player to be considered as 'home-grown' they must have been trained in England or Wales for three seasons before they turned 21. Clubs can play an unlimited amount of players under the age of 21.
The managers can now only choose the players (not including those under the age of 21) from now until the re-opening of the transfer window in January. Changes the squad outside of the transfer windows can only be made in 'exceptional circumstances'.
