Gareth Southgate is able to make a sixth substitution in England's World Cup opener against Iran. The Three Lions have one of the strongest squads at the tournament in Qatar with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish among those ready and waiting in the ranks.
This is because Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand was brought off against England in the first-half via a 'concussion substitution'. Therefore, England are also now entitled to a sixth change.
Beiranvand was replaced by Hossein Hosseini after colliding with centre-half Majid Hosseini when palming away a Kieran Tripper delivery into the box. His teammate quickly got back to his feet but the 30-year-old goalkeeper went down and was later treated by the Iran medical team.
