This summer, as you may have seen, there has been much gossip about a '25 man squad'. Well, BBC Sport explains how these new rules work. There are rules like:
- Clubs register a squad of up to 25 players, which must include at least eight 'home-grown' players, at the end of each transfer window.
- Home-grown players do not have to be English; home-grown players are defined as those who "irrespective of nationality or age, have been affiliated to the FA or Welsh FA for a period of three seasons or 36 months prior to 21st birthday"
