Serie B will not follow Serie A by adopting a longer bench, so only seven potential substitutes will be available.
The FIGC accepted a proposal from the Lega Serie A this season to extend the squad list for each game to a maximum of 12 players.

So far this term several clubs have taken up the option only partially, including more than seven players on the bench, but not as many as 12.
However, today the Lega Serie B decided not to follow suit, as such a move would be ‘unnecessary.’
Therefore the second division clubs will not make a similar request to the Federation and maintain the classic seven men on the bench.
