FIFA and the IFAB are reportedly ready to give the all-clear for five substitutions in the post-lockdown period, but they would be made in three timeslots.
When football does resume, it will be in the height of summer and most likely with a game played every three days to get the fixture list completed.
With that in mind, the Corriere dello Sport claims FIFA are open to changing the rules so that teams can make five substitutions per match rather than three.

This would help ease the strain on individual players and aim to avoid injuries in an unusual situation.
However, in order to prevent the game being impacted too much, the five substitutions would have to be made in three timeslots rather than peppered throughout the 90 minutes.
There could even be an extra two changes during the half-time break.
