Premier League clubs are to discuss a Football Association proposal that would see the number of foreign players in squads reduced to deal with Brexit, Sky Sports News has been told.
Currently, Premier League squads can have up to 17 players from abroad in their 25-man squads but, under an FA plan, that number would be reduced to 12 with a resulting increase in homegrown players to 13.
Clubs will consider the idea at a meeting on Thursday, one involving a representative from all 20 clubs where a number of other issues will be discussed – the future use of VAR is expected to be high on the agenda.
