Sean Dyche has insisted player welfare is 'off the scale' after Jurgen Klopp accused Burnley of putting players' safety at risk by blocking the return to five substitutions.
Klopp has been outspoken in calling for substitutions to be increased from the current three per game in the face of fixture congestion caused by the impact of Covid-19.
The Liverpool manager took aim at Burnley this week, saying he was not sure how many of their players are internationals and are resting when 'our players play three games'.
Dyche has previously said that adopting a five-substitute rule in the Premier League would benefit the big clubs and suggests football has to be careful over the direction it takes.
