Another rule that is a bit cloudy.
Rule 3-3 Art 8 d. Once a team has gone short-handed and another eligible player is available, that player
may fill the empty space in the lineup.
I've had this conversation with our interpreter as well. He thinks an available sub
must be put in. The way the rule is written, that does not appear to be the case. The coach, for whatever reason, could decide to leave an eligible sub on the bench.
