One month before the start of the European Championship, UEFA presented special rules for squad nominations in view of the coronavirus pandemic.

Nyon - In the run-up to the last soccer World Cup in Russia in 2018, Joachim Löw * made himself unpopular with many German soccer fans for his squad nomination.

In particular, the disregard of the then shooting star from Manchester City was a sticking point.

At the upcoming EM *, the 2018 scenario would probably no longer be a problem after a recent decision by UEFA.

EM 2021: UEFA decides special rules due to corona - total squad is increased by three players

As the European Football Union announced on Tuesday, the qualified teams can nominate 26 instead of 23 players * for the tournament.

The risks of getting into distress due to positive coronavirus * tests or quarantine measures should be minimized with the expansion of the staff.

However, only 23 players including three keepers may be appointed for the individual games.

Löw still has until June 1st until he has to submit his final squad to UEFA *.

But rules have also been set in the event of an infection between the nomination deadline and the start of the tournament on June 11th.

In this way, seriously injured players or those suffering from Covid-19 as well as contact persons can still be exchanged.

Also special is a goalkeeper regulation that was decided for the tournament.

If only one or two goalkeepers are available from the squad list, a new goalkeeper could also be appointed during the tournament.

In addition, should a player be replaced, they will not be allowed to return to the tournament.

Furthermore, UEFA stipulated that 13 capable players per team, including a goalkeeper, were required to whistle a game.

If a team struggles with failures and does not reach the quota, a game could be postponed for up to 48 hours, but only if the tournament schedule allows it.

If a transfer is no longer possible, the association's disciplinary committee will make a decision.

Results of canceled games should be rated 0: 3 to the detriment of the team responsible for the cancellation.

The time has come on May 18 or 19: Jogi Löw announces his final roster.

With 26 candidates, the national coach can bet on more stars or one or the other surprise player.

On June 15, the DFB-Elf starts against the world champions France in the EM tournament.
