Everton boss Ancelotti explains naming 2 keepers on bench

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has explained naming two goalkeepers on his bench during the season restart.

Managers are currently allowed to name nine players on the bench and are able to bring five of those onto the pitch if they require - with substitutions to be made in a maximum of three intervals during any game.

Ancelotti has now provided some explanation behind that, explaining how three shot-stoppers can be useful.

The boss told Sky Sports: "It's good to give Joao [Virginia] some matchday experience.

"It's also helpful I find to have two goalkeepers for the warm-ups. Above all, when we play away this also helps us avoid problems if there is an injury to the first or second option."
