West Brom striker Hal Robson-Kanu has rejected demands for the return of five substitutes.

Liverpool and Manchester City managers Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola have backed using five substitutes while West Ham's David Moyes has now joined them.

Robosn-Kanu said: “I don't think so. The tradition of football is not only about equality and a high level of skill but also perseverance and being able to maintain a consistent level of performance.

“The more subs you have you're able to change half the team.

“We're professionals and this is our line of work so we have to show a level of discipline to maintain those levels.

“It's easy to get frustrated and be annoyed with the situation but there are a lot of people who are suffering and if we're able to take a step back and look at it on a global level we're fortunate to be doing what we're doing.

“To turn on the TV and watch football is important to fans and society given the various lockdown measures.

“As frustrating as it might be there are a lot of positives we can take from doing what we're doing."
