Team squads for November's World Cup finals in Qatar could be expanded from 23 to 26 players by governing body FIFA, a source with knowledge of the discussions said on Wednesday. National team coaches and federation officials will discuss whether to take the step at their meeting with FIFA on Friday ahead of the draw for the finals. The impact of COVID-19 on players and the use of five substitutes per match has led some in the game to suggest allowing squads to have three extra players.
