In an official statement, Uefa confirmed that they plan to keep the rule in place for international competitions past this summer until spring 2022.
This comes after Fifa extended the use of five substitutions to cover the World Cup qualification process, which is due to finish in March 2022.
The rule has been widely adopted across the world, with the Premier League being the only top-flight league not to adopt the rule for the 2020/21 season.
