Mikel Arteta ‘begging’ Premier League to expand 20-man matchday squads

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is urging the Premier League to expand its 20-man matchday squad limit, arguing the competition should align with Serie A and La Liga, which allow larger squads. Arteta believes that increasing the number of players permitted on matchday rosters would benefit players' mental wellbeing. The push represents a formal appeal from one of the league's leading managers to reform current squad selection rules.
